Here's my new rhom.

It is currently 2.9" long. I see that it's dorsal fin is a bit odd shaped. I'm thinking it might be something I heard was called "bent fin syndrome." Please let me know if you believe that dorsal fin is messed up or not. (I'm not too sure, but the pics I've seen of other small rhoms do not show a dorsal fin like my rhom has). If so what should I do to fix it? I'm not trying to be some mad scientist or anything like that, I was just thinking of cutting a portion of the dorsal fin off so as to let it heal up straight. (Especially while it's young and its chompers are small). I know that piranhas have a powerful regenerative ability.

Your experience and knowledge is greatly appreciated.
 
if u cut that fish, it will die your not a doctor. if i could slap you i would and then i would take that poor rhom, BAN HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
