It should help now that conditions are changed.. I have had a gator that had this issue due to poor water and diet and it cleared right up. On the other hand I've got a Tropical with this that gets a great diet and very good water.. Hard to say what is the trigger for this in Gars..

for anyone who isnt sure what richard and i are talking about here is a pic of the gill curl...

 

[channarox]

is it curable?

wouldnt we all! i am hoping that once i get it on a good diet and keep him in pristine conditions it may reverse itself. (fingers crossed)

 

[channarox]

my fingers are crossed.

i dont think so. from what ive recently heard all gar can get it fairly equally even the most hardy of the gar species.

Well hopefully it reverses itself, at least a little. Looks aside it can't be good for the fish I wouldn't think.
