Do you have a pic? Gill curl is bad. Stage 1 can be treated with ease.....past that, when the hard gill cover itself is curled in most cases only surgery can cure it...Diagnosis is as easy as a pic of said fish...

well i've read somewhere that you can actually cut the gill after sedating the fish..it will grow back w/ some anti fungus medication, high water quality, melafix, salt and a bit of high temp..it will take time though..considerable longer time than fins..

surgery is treating it

fixing the water quality is the cure.

Treated and cured are past tense synonymous in the context in which they were used..........
