what about his quality is he good?
 
Bent gill = Crap breeder IMHO.
Unless he was bought as a fry, or injured by another fish. But most often gill curl happens to breeders who dont really know what they are doing geneticly, end up with strange mutations, and then sell deformed fish. Idk if thats what you mean by "gill fin" but I hope it doesnt progress.
Either way, Its a SB ZZ. Decent fins. Other than that, standard sb ZZ. Average quality, Nothing good, Nothing bad.

Those are it's pectoral fins and, no, they are not normal.
