Yeah, innocent as a newborn lamb....
Don't know if you're still up at this hour (Dave toddled off 2 hours ago) 
but I've got a problem
with bent spines (angling downward at the caudal fin) of a growing out batch 
of Ep sexfasciatus Rathkei.
All save 2, present this way. Regular water changes every 2 days at least, 
and feeding BBS, moena, frozen chopped blood worms (when larger) and 
earthworm flake. They are in a tank with filtered light thru a north window. 
I've grown out several batches of Chromos with no problems and am wondering
if I should have softened the water more, or is it just tired, worn-out 
genes? Any ideas/thoughts are
appreciated.

Bill
