Got this little 4" guy in good condition a few weeks back.my 5" senegal beat him up a few days ago, ripping a lower lip off and chewing his tail up and now he swims with a hump back (photo). any ideas about whats wrong with him or how to fis it? i was hoping he's swim it off but it doesnt look like he will

Totally thought this post was gonna be a broke back mountain joke lol. But in all seriousness I cant see anything wrong with the back, doesnt look like any of the spine broke since hes still got that curve, but then again im no expert
 
hmmm. he looks kinda deformed. Did he fall on the ground?
 
he swims in that position. never straightens out or flexes much. my pigmented senegal swims around straight all day, flexes when he turns while my albino just floats around as pictured
 
watched him some more after work, looks like paralysis. he swims with his pectoral fins and seems to have alittle control of the end of the tail but middle of back seems usless.
 
i have an albino and my florida gar always nips at his fins hes about 4". i think he thinks its food lol
