T. Barbs With Crooked Backs

[xcharmanderx421]

I don't know what's going on. 1 of my fish has a crooked back and swims funny. It still eats fine and everything. I thought it was just physical damage from fighting and left it alone, but now another fish is swimming funny. they swim by flicking toward one side and don't swim straight. and when floating in the water they're curved. So i'm guessing there's probably something wrong with my tank. All test show ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are fine.

so i have no idea.

How old are the tigar barbs as there spine can bend as they get older.
Also bent spines can be fish tb, to internal parasites.


Bent spines and concaves tummys can be internal parasites and fish tb.
Internal parasites signs are.
Being thin or bloated.
Long stringy white poo, or clear mucas poo.
Enlarged anus, or red and inflamed anus.
Worms prutruding from the anus.
Bent spines to looking concaved in the tummy region.

Will you take a look at this tb link to rule it out.

thanks. looks like TB to me now, since there's plenty of healthy poo, and no worms or concave stomachs. i'll probably go with the TB. or as you mentioned, old age for TB. since i did get them at the petstore i have no idea how old they could be probably 1 year old before i bought them

You can't really say its tb without any test done really.
But if there more than one in the tank showing symtoms I wouldm't rule it out either.
All you can do is try a wormer just to make sure its not internal parasites.
There wormer plus but it depends on which internal parasite it is.
