Why does a fish's body bend into an S shape?
Why does a fish's body become S-shaped?
I have kept ornamental fish at home for 6 months. Recently I noticed that two fish have deformed bodies, and they are smaller than the other fish. What is the cause, and can it be treated?
--------------------------------------
It seems to be parasites. I look forward to an expert giving an accurate answer.
--------------------------------------
It would be best to post a picture!
Also, a lack of vitamins can cause fish body deformation!
--------------------------------------
What kind of fish do you keep?
Did you fail to notice this problem when you bought the fry?
--------------------------------------
What is so strange about just two fish? Sometimes you can even bite into a few grains of sand when eating.
--------------------------------------
But I only keep 3 fish in total, and the diseased ones account for nearly 70%. Isn't that scary?
--------------------------------------
It could also be a lack of calcium and phosphorus.
--------------------------------------
First, check what you are feeding them.
Then check whether your water has excessive levels of some heavy metal. Hehe, it is not convenient to say clearly. Otherwise the water company will kill me.
Check whether you have used any medication, such as: hehe, I will not say more. Think about this issue for a moment.
If there are no problems, I suggest you go find the person who sold you the fish and exchange them for two others.

One more thing, hehe. I cannot say it this way, but I can say it quietly.

Lack of nutrition. Switch to a fresher feed with a shorter storage time and comprehensive nutritional value.
--------------------------------------
You say the fish body is S-shaped, so it should be bent-body disease. There are two causes: first, the water contains heavy metal salts, which stimulate the fish's nerves and muscles to contract. Second, it is a deformity caused by a lack of calcium and vitamin C. The recommended method is to change the water frequently and feed nutritionally rich feed.
--------------------------------------
I agree with what the person above said: it is generally mineral deficiency, vitamin deficiency, or heavy metals. Also, has the feed been stored for too long?

Lack of nutrition. Switch to a fresher one. I also think so.
