Hey I need everyone’s help! I got a baby alligator gar 3 days ago and the first day he was fine I woke up the second day and it looks like his back is curved or arched. He is still swimming and fins are still working but doesn’t look like as well as before. I don’t know if he is eating or not because I have yet to see him eat anything. I have him in a 55 gallon tank with 2 plecos and they don’t bother him. I don’t know if he got spooked and hit the glass and broke his back or if it could be from a health issue of water quality but I wouldn’t think water quality would be an issue all my other fish have always been absolutely fine in there and I change it and clean it and it’s filtered well and I put all the proper things in it. I don’t have tests to test water quality but what should I do? What do you think this is? I’m devestated I love him so much. He is tiny only like 4 inches very small. Help!
