    Deformed

    Hello, I just got this discus in the other day from my LFS and at the moment I have it in quarantine, but I noticed the top of its body leans more to the right. Is this a deformity or is it just stressed?

    Hard to tell from that pic is there any flow in the tank possibly pushing it to the right ?

        Do you mean a bent spinal? Need a picture from the top looking down on top of the spinal.

          This is not deformity. Your fish has gone through heavy hexamita or treated for internal parasites and has recovered. The thing you could worry is that your discus might get stunted in growth if not kept in a healthy group of discus with the right parameters.

            Can you provide a photo from the top as suggested by Cliff?
