Broken back Orinoco

[MrDuckBootz]

I’ve just gotten back with my three new peacock bass, when I cut the bag I realized that one of them is a little...special. He can’t swim right because of a curvature in his body. Have any of you ever experenced anything similar? Does anyone know if it’s something that can be corrected?

I dont really notice anything wrong. Were these the guys listed on ebay. 10 for 170. They look different then my rio metas at that size. Do you have a collection point

 

[jimmie1974]

And no it cant be corrected. Take that one back and exchange him.

When he swims u can 100% tell theirs something wrong. Ill try to post a video, i got them from a place in nova ration called Malone’s monsters. I dont want to take him back i got the 3 for 60, singly they go for 25. So i only Solent $10 on him I’d rather just keep him and try to help him of giver him the best life possible when the 10ft circle pond is ready

It won’t let me post the video it says it’s to long but here’s a SS from the video. It looks like that when he’s stationary as well not only moving
