I have three small longnose gars about 8 inches big.
Two of them have a snout which is bendet upwards.
They were not Born like this.
I think it must have happened in the growout Tank.
As far as i can see there is nothing broken.
Is there any chance that this will grow back to the normal shape?
Is there anything i can do?

I'm no vet but I doubt if anything can be done to straighten them out.
 
No ,u can't fix this,but u can prevent it from getting worse by giving them plenty of space and some plants(real or fake)to make them feel more secure
 
Now they are in the big tank .
Space should not be a problem.
The grow out tank is very dark so i didnt regognized that there is something wrong.
I thought maybe it gets better when they grow.
Sad news.
