they bout 17in one of thems jus gets spooked really easily the other one got perfect barbells...i wish i had a camera tho
 
17in arro in a 100gal tank, with other arros, and a rtc, and you cant understand why the arros are smashing themselves up, and the rtc has gil curl?

Speachless.
 
But to answer your original question about gil curl, while they are housed in a stupidly small tank there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to fix it.

Sure you can temporarily fix it, but it WILL come back.

I will not join the flame the op movement what size is the tank you are upgrading to

I got flamed by people when I rehomed 2 pacu and 3 iri shark and put them in a 180g, it was funny cause I had lined up a 300g but they did not bother to ask me that. Even better I just found a 8 ft 420g so guess the rehome is working

im interested in what tank you moving them to

Thats all good and well, but his RTC and arros are both suffering at the moment.

If a dog was starving to death you wouldnt ask what food you were thinking of buying in the future would you?

There is a big difference between healthy overcrowded fish waiting upgrade and unhealthy fish that are suffering waiting an upgrade.

Besides all this he wanted to know about how to operate on his RTC himself due to the credit crunch and saving money.

Doesnt sound like someone who is about to line up a real home for these fish to me.

I care about the welfare of your fish, I couldnt care less wether you think I am flaming you, or I am "hiding behind my computer" you asked about gil curl, and I answered you, just because the answer isnt the one you were looking for doesnt change the fact that it is caused by your tiny tank and poor water management.

And I am doing something with my life thanks, I am sat here with my daughter teaching her how to read and write and trying to explain to someone who seems to be struggling with both of these subjects that the only way they can fix the problems they are having with their fish is to get propor housing for them.

OK heres the answer you were looking for....

Lower the water, chase the fish around untill they are exhausted then lift them out, snip the gil off that is causing issue and place the fish back in the tank, it will be fine in that tank for life, and the only reason the arros are smashing thmeselves up is because they are stupid.
