whats that stuff around its neck?!!!!
 
I think that's a very extreme and advanced case of gill curl?! :crazy: ,

Gill curls a common problem when people think they can keep asian aros, but it turns out theier tank is too small and they cant keep the water conditions good enough.

Poor fish.

i think i read somewhere it was because they swim backwards as they can't turn around. Don't know how one could keep a fish like that and get it that bad before realising somethings not quite right.
