Hey guys.. I just noticed my Goby was struggling to swim around, well now it's actually kind of doing the "dying" fish float. I have no idea whats wrong with him and water parameters are fine. It almost looks like it's spine is broke.. look at this pic and you can see what I mean.. granted the waves magnify the curve in it's body but it's still a real significant curve.. what causes this and how do I treat it??

At the foot of the cross
What is in the tank with him? Did you pick him up from the lfs like that? Hopefully it isn't anything serious. Someone will be along soon to shed some light on this situation.

In the tank is another Marble Goby .5" bigger and a striped raphael. Nothing that could have inflected a major wound. It was fine when I bought it, ordered it onine. It's laying on it's side strugling to live.. I'm afraid he's about gone :(
