Red Tail Barracuda

[DeathOPS]

Hi this is my 1st post so forgive me for my english.. Im from singapore and got my RT Barracuda around 2 months back... The problem is, i noticed during a recent water change that the fish body is not straight, its curve, like a backbone problem or something. i was thinking if anyone of u got any solution? or is it birth defect?

i would also like to know would this cause any future harm to it?

Do you have any pictures of it?

Without pics i don't think anyone could offer any solid advice.

I get what you are talking about and many RT Barracudas can have the back curve but some might be straight. It varies between all of them but most likely is a growing issue from lack of space when small.

No I have never heard of someone being able to heal this sadly... It's a genetic flaw that cannot be healed as far as I know. Just look at some other red tail Barracudas on youtube and you will find a similar issue with some of them. Best of luck to ya!
