I bought beautiful color betta fish with bent spine, when I was researching on bent spine I came to know 3 points
1 genetical
2 too high nitrates during shipment
3 T.B

I want can't find what is difference between all three deformities?

How would I know which deformity this betta have.

I think that T.B victims are completely C-shaped.

I am leaning towards gentic birth issues for the cause of the bent spine.

I almost left it... Went home and didn't know what happend it came to my eyes and was about to break trafic signal and turned my bike back went back and bought it.
What was on my mind I don't know

Well it is a good thing for the poor fellow that you bought him, because more than likely no one else would have.

Sounds like my dog I rescued, he had one leg missing, a crooked tail, one eye, one ear. I was told that he had been shot, fell out of a moving car, and ran over. So I brought him home and named him "Lucky"....

I'd need a better side view to say for sure, but I'm guessing you've got a double tailed male. Double tails are a genetic defect, bred for the simple purpose of having an extended dorsal and 2 tail lobes. Often times the spine becomes deformed due to bad breeding. Usually a responsible breeder would cull fry with bad genetic defects, but things happen. Sometimes it is hard to tell if a fish will have bad form when they are young and defects only become apparent as the fish matures.

Yes it seems to me as double tail will attach more pics in morning ... Even though I have added stress coat and few general cure as preventive measure ... It seems stressed so not giving me proper view

Good People exist ... Even though I don't name my pets because when they go It hurts. I have an other betta its veil tail it went through electric shock when my extention board started sending current on both ends positive and negative ... Its been six months now he is with me ... Even though he is not as beautiful as he use to be but still I love him, Survivor
