OH NO!!!! MY PINIMA!!!!
wtf is this???? lateral line is not straight anymore and from topside i can see the fish bending a little bit!!!! feeding wise is not a problem as of the moment. but when the pics were taken had a bit of guppy problem so he hasnt eaten as much. like last night he must've gobbled up ten guppies. but damnit what happened to my fish?!??!?!? is there a way of treating this??? i dont think its parasite, he poops normally and doesnt show signs of lethargy or anything, its just that its not the normal looking fish, kink of hunchback looking....:(

-he is in a 75 with a monoc and a very mean kelberi all of the same size... took out the kelberi already...

Ya it works somewhat ..Best bet get him on non live Then give him the live as a treat this will get him to eat more then he would at a time helping him get more nutrition right now this is most important for what he looks like when Adult!!!
 
The second picture looks very much like it has internal parasites. If he did eat a good meal just last night, he would not be this thin by now.
I would definitely treat for internal parasites (Don't ask me what to use.)
The last thing the fish needs now, is stress, including trying out new foods.

yeah i was thinking to treat as well, but i wouldn't want to treat if it were not internal parasites coz it might add to the stress... if the fish has normal looking poop can it be still internal parasites? or should it be really white stringy poop?
 
if you can see the pics, you'll notice the lateral line would shape into kind of a hump starting from after the gills to the second bar. but in reality, its more like a depth thing, the eye would trick you into seeing a hump but its really that the hump part is a bit further in depth than the rest of the body. i think my fish has a slight bend to his spine... im not sure but thats just my theory.. so far yeah im just gonna feed him more and more food.. but if you guys got other ideas pls do share...
 
baby pbass are very susceptible to a number of parasites/diseases
 
fish only secumb to parasite when weak or under nourished think about it Dar!!
