Honey Gourami Curved Spine

I know fish these days are usually imported/shipped to stores in huge numbers and deformities and illness are a given.. But I was just curious, one of my 4 honey gouramis has a pretty badly curved spine. It's only visible from the top of his body, looks fine from the side. Is there anything that can fix it? He eats with the others and goes about his normal business.

Can we get a picture, please? Water parameters, temperature, tank size, other symptoms, and any extra information would be appreciated.

hes always moving. Impossible to get a picture.
water parameters are ammonia 0ppm, nitrite 0ppm, nitrates 10ppm. Temperature is at 78. Tank size is 20 gallon long, heavily planted. Like I mentioned above, no symptoms really. the fish seems completely unaffected. I'm just curious if there's a way to fix it

As far as I know, there really isn’t a way to fix it. Could possibly be a symptom of fish TB, so keep an eye on every fish in the tank. If you see any other symptoms, come back immediately. If it’s acting normally at the moment, it may just be a deformity from bad breeding.

I would actually make a move right now. Here’s an article to help. Scroll down to the section about Fish TB. Good luck!
