    What is wrong with my Bar Dartfish he looks crooked and I don't know why. He is about 2-3 years old so could it be something that happens to old fish? image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    He eats right and he hides all day up until dinner time and I just noticed it 2-3 days.

    Wonder if a rock fell on him. If he still swims fine, I'm inclined to say it's not something with his spine but rather just swelling. Keep an eye on him obviously. Make sure he eats well.

    Okay I did just move some rocks the other day, but I would have thought he would have been crushed. I did notice though that about a week or two ago he started hiding a lot and only came out to eat.
    P.S. I moved the rocks on Monday and I didn't do any Significant Mantinance like water change or Aqua scraping.
