Looks like a back injury to me. Any movement in the tail fins?

 

[fishwhisperer]

yep full rang of motion in all fins

 

[fishwhisperer]

range*

 

[pharmaecopia]

That's a good sign at least.

chance of healing? im bout to do a massive WC..

It's hard to say for sure. Maybe it's just the pics but it looks worse 2 days ago than today. Time will tell. Pamper it and wait and see. Fish can rebound from alot so don't lose hope.

No chance,broken backs dont tend to heal....hope its not one...

 

[fishwhisperer]

well i really hope its not broken, and if it was seriously broken he wouldnt have full range of motion, right? he's my baby and his buddy, my other gar hasnt been leaving his side, and they push each other as they swim together, taking turns going under one another, allways touching tho. really hope he is ok

no votes on ammonia? or anything besides back injury?
