While cleaning the tank today, i noticed one of my fish was bent (a harlequin rasbora)
I've had them for a few months now, and only just noticed, but without seeing them from the top and the filter off you can't see it, so it may have been around for ages, I dunno...
Just wanted to check see what this is, if its a contagious disease or whatever!
He seems fine aside from that, maybe a bit of trouble swimming, but still eats.
*note, just saw a pic of fish tuberculosis when I was looking for a picture to show you guys what he looks like, actually looks very similar with the bent spine in those pictures.
Thinking of putting him down now to prevent it spreading =/ ideas anyone?
He looks kind of like this right now:

1. Water parameters. (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, PH, temp', Hardness etc)
Should be all good - havnt had problems with it, but also havnt tested lately.
2. A full description of the fishes symptoms.
Bent spine like in the picture, other than that nothing.
3. How often you do water changes and how much.
Every week, 25-30%. This water change was 2 days late.
4. Any chemicals and treatments you add to the water.
Seachem Stability, chlorine killer
5. What tank mates are in the tank.
90L tank - 10 harlequin rasboras, 5 panda corys, 2 blue rams
6. Tank size.
90l
7. Finally Have you recently added any new fish?
