Curved aro

[Majinn]

just wanted to share.. ive seen it at the lfs for about 4 years.. this goes to show you need a big tank for aro keeping.. tank size is 4x18''x2.5.. poor guy..
i was told by the lfs lady its a green aro (not pure green)..

Probably a birth deformity. Or a stunted aro that was kept in a tank that was to narrow. Does he swim fine? Eat?

I had adopted a 21" silver aro that had the same hunchback look. It also had been kept ti a tank with a 48"x18". After moving to my 180g it started swimming and went back to normal, there was no sign of the deformity after about 3-4 months.

How would you rescue it if you lived in america LOL. What would you do with it? Stick it in your 150 to get more deformed?

he could have bought a new tank or kept it in a big tub or a pond..how do you know if he deformed it more or not..no need to jump to unnecessary conclusions on any member.
