This Is Chicken
I am very concerned for my little friend. While I Was preparing their new home I had chicken and Oscar who is my foot long tiger shovelnose in a 55 gallon. Chicken love hiding between a piece of Driftwood and the back wall of the tank. I believe from how long he stayed there his Benz grew like that. I was told once they were moved into the new tank he would be fine they would straighten out but it is for a week or two if not more and they don't seem to be straightening out. I'm very concerned because one of them is very close to his neck and it looks like if it continues to grow it will grow into his neck. I was wondering if worst case scenario if it's been started penetrating if I could clip that spine below where it starts to bend. I tried housing an Asian redtail catfish with my tiger shovelnose and he pretty much destroyed his whole right front Fin and he regrew it fine within a month. I don't want to cause any of my fish any unnecessary harm it's just I'm wondering what if anything can be done. As of right now he doesn't seem to be in any pain it's just he gets around in a goofy manner and his back tail pretty much gets him where he needs to go. I'm looking for any advice or suggestions or if anybody may know if this is more than what I think it is
