Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum. I recently bought a group of 6 corydoras for my 35 gallon aquarium. They are on their second week of quarantine and I'm worried because one of them is not eating. Since the beginning I noticed that it has a weird curvature on its spine and I haven't seen it eat during this time. The rest of them are completely normal and have been eating regularly and scavenging for more food. The affected one just stays in one corner without eating and breathing heavily. I don't know if the spine is a congenital deformity that I didn't notice and it's not allowing the fish to eat and develop properly or if it something that could be transmitted to the other fish.
