Wakin/watonai fry with bent fin

[Criscar]

Hey all, one of my double tail fry has a bit of a wonky tail on the right side only. Will this self correct as the fins get bigger and a bit stiffer or should we rename this little one Nemo?

I honestly don’t know, but it shouldn’t have an effect on his quality of life.

One of mine always slept backed up into a corner when I first got him and he was in the quarantine tank. As a result, one tail fin was bent. It wasn't that way when he arrived.

He's maybe 4 years old or so now and lives in the pond. That fin is still bent. He's fine with that, so I am too.

Nemo is a great choice for a name. Wish I had thought of that for mine.

The gang of misfits (two walkin/watonai, a mildly scoliotic shubunkin and their faithful guppy friend) finally got big enough to go into the pond. The shubunkin with the bent walkin/watonai is still remarkably slower in swimming than the others, fingers cross the little guy will make it!
