Question
Hello, this am, noticed our beautiful Bala Shark twitching and his body looking 'crooked', what has happened ?  He did manage to get to some food and eat this am.  In the last wk have also lost 2 of our 'very fat orange fish', can't remember what they are called.  
Thanks for any info !

Answer
Hi Christy,
It sounds like he has Neon Tetra Disease. This can cause erratic swimming and a crooked spine. There is no treatment available for this disease. Lots of water changes a good diet and good water quality may help this fish.

Regards,
Chloe.
