Should I Let Him Be Or End Him Now?

[GAB99]

i just realized one of my gold barbs has a crooked back at the end where his tail and main body conect, will this progress throughout his life time? he seems all right right now but idk what to do, if he progresses will i eventually need to kill him?
quickest way plz. heres a model of his spine

- <=======================head
-
-
- <=======================stomach
-
-
- <=====================tail base
-
-
- <======================tip of tail


obviously not that bad, a little bit off,

Was he like this before? If not, it may be a early sign of fish TB. Which I believe is not curable. Talk to Wilder.

That's another thing I was going to mention is talking to Wilder

Yeah; Wilder's always helpful and besides, you wouldn't want to lose your fish, I'd bet!

no, hes been different then the other barbs since i got him, and he is a real tuffy so i dont think hes sick. i have had him for about 4 months now and i knew something was off on him but now that hes bigger you can definatley see a difference

if he seems to be lively and as normal i wouldn't bother if he has a dickie back might just be a birth deformity
