Danio

[iamirene]

as a beginner i do like reading all the Q/A/comments - its a great site
i am still a real novice .... so would appreciate some comment/advice
i have just noticed one of my danio (a leopard) looks a little skewed - like he is curving to the right - hence swimming looks a little strange
the other danios (leopard and zebra) seem ok, as do the other fish
not sure if i actually have a problem??
if it is a problem what can i do about it??
thanks
irene

it is most likely a genetic defect, given how danios are mass farmed.
provided he is eating well he should live a full life

Yes, I agree, danios are like minnows - huge schools, and often you see various minor defects. My son likes to give those a special name, which he gets a kick out of - makes it more fun!
