Hi all,

Can anyone please assist in diagnosing if this is a disease or a deformity to one of my 9 inch (1.5 years old), having recently developed a slight bent at its tail and pinkinsh tinge of colour. I noticed it just today not sure how long its been there, all other behaviours seem to be fine as well as eating well.
Upon seeing this I added some sea salt mixed with "Rid All General aid" and a pinch of methylene blue mixed with it...to my tank which is a 180 gallon tank. Attaching pictures here. Appreciate any help.

If it's something that just recently popped-up, I can think of nothing to cause it besides a vitamin-deficiency. usually kinks and bends are noticeable early-on, but I suppose it could have just been so minor that it went unnoticed in a juvenile and became more prominent through growth and made more and more visible
 
Thanks so much for repying, I am worried that it might be a disease, i posted the pic of the right side of the cat however later on wen I checked the left side i felt its a little more swollen than the right side...still worried about the cause and any available diagnosis and medication...
