Just woke up this morning to my yellow wrasse swimming in a strange way. I’ve had it for a few months now, no problems at all except just now it’s starting to swim like with its tail down, almost like something is pushing it down and it can’t quite move it’s body in a normal way. Any ideas what this could be and how I can fix it?

Swimming with tail down is a trait with some wrasses but if it’s using both fins to maneuver, may be bent spine which is rarely corrected
While some wrasses can endure a lifetime with this , with others it leads to a shorter life

this is only a problem I just noticed today. I’ve never seen it do this before. Do you think it is anything fixable?
