Angel Fish Dorsal Fin

[Tw3lv3]

Hi, i have got 2 angel fish and when i brought them a month ago 1 had a bent dorsal fin i just thought this would grow out but it hasnt and i was just wondering if it would be irritating to the fish or painful in anyway he seems happy enough but as the saying go's animals cant tell you if it hurts so i just wanted to ask the most experienced people i know.

I cant get a picture of him because he is a fiesty lil devil and is constantly moving about lol so i have included a very bad drawing of what it looks like.

Many Thanks,
Tw3lv3.

hard rays have been broken, probably during a netting operation and will not repair

will he be ok or is he suffering?

I have one that had damaged itself against a filter, it healed, but never unstraightened. He is still going strong, is the terror of my tank in fact. I doubt there is any permenant suffering after it heals up.

apparently not... bit like a broken arm... once it's healed no problem.....not that you can do anyhting about it in this case
