hold onthere bobalooo!!! :D

if its minor gill curling (slightly folded) you dont need surgery to fix it

if you correct the water parameters it will right itself

but if it curls over alot or completely and stays that way for awhile i would go ahead with the surgery
if you realise, the gold aro in that link...the gill curl aint that bad...but why want to risk leaving it open to infection?why dont just cut it off and put some medication?it is not to hard after all..if you have the tools that is.
