Hi I just came home and my jardini body is like a S and his body is not straight. did it hit something and screwed his body up? and will he survive this?
do you put in deep tank ? is it young juvenile fish ?
if yes , reduce water level , heavily aerate the water , dim the light and observe for couple days, it should be straighten up
from past exp , it could be something it eaten , body banging / heavy stress could end up the body form s shape
try to find the cause first , it's the best way deal with this problem
yes 5-6" is juvenile
how far the top cover to your water surface ? it can be considered as hurting its back if the jard is jumpy/skittish and hit the top cover hard enough
how did it behave before ? skittish , darting or calm and how deep is your tank ?
yeah s shape, i think your water a bit too deep, sometimes a juve cannot cope with that pressure
so lower your water lvl to 1 ft , dont feed , increase aeration , just wait and observe for couple days
