Hey

That fish is stubby, it is a deformation that can happen during meta.

I dont know if its a dwarf but it def has some deformation.

The head is not rounded its stubby.

Joez

They mostly cull then because sometimes it can cause problems later on with their spine.

Check out ORA's website they sell them as stubbys.

I would try to add some selcon to his food and isolate him so he can try and beef up.

Don't worry, Kray. You're more "special" to me. Also, make me a pico necklace with a mini clownfish?!?!?!

 

[kungfujoe]

haha **** thats pretty cool.. awsome cloun man

 

[ucantmakeme]

ya i would cull him also. Just so his bad genetics dont pollute the species later on down the road if whoever ends up with it breeds it. Kindof like the AKC creating so many deformities in and problems with purebreds nowadays... just my .02
