I have a newish kuhli loach, that looks like he is bent in half. He has a very distinct joint about halfway down his body, that stays bent like an elbow noodle. He swims very awkwardly (sp?), but can move all around the tank.
I just got him on last Tuesday, and he is in a 20 gallon with only 5 other kuhli loaches (which look completely healthy). I originally bought 6 kuhlis, and 3 died within 2 days... he is one of those original loaches (I got 3 more later). He was fine 2 days ago... I'm not sure how suddenly this was. He's in a room that a lot of people can go into, so I don't know if someone else might have moved something and squished him with a rock or something... although nothing in the tank looks moved.
Is this something that anyone has heard of before? Is it possible that he will get better? What can I do for him or add to the water to help?
