Is this fin curl?

[sirwin81]

Hey all, I'm new here, nice forum by the way
3days ago I got a pair of pearl, they are still acclimating maybe,
a bit signs of stress like rushing to the corner, tries to get out of water desperately sometimes, only eat a little bit of ghost shrimp.
This is the photo of the male.. about 5 inch
He does this for like 10-15 minutes / hour.
Is this categorized as fin curl?

Tank conditions : Ph 6.8-7.3 Heater set to 89
Should I cover the tank to get it dark?
Should I get any medications or water add ons ??

Hoping to hear some great tips soon,
Thanks!!

Keep the tank dark and offer good foods. Did you test you water?

yeah. I m minimizin the lights, do 20-30% wc with age water daily n giving them mp and blood worm 2-3x a day
the ammonia is 0 n ph is stabil at 7
i have only 1 4 inch pelco and 2 motoro in a 4x2x1.5 tank

what puzzles me is that the ray is active n eating healthly

Keep the tank dark and offer good foods. Did you test you water?

my motoro died after suffering fin curl for 5 mins..
probably due to ammonia poisoning
at least your water conditions are far better than mine, so I dont think you have a serious problem other than your motoro tryin to mimic a dolphin
