Need help With My HM

[md7]

My Pegasus seems to change a lot since the first time i bought him...

1. He can't stretch his tail until 180 degree....i saw him done that before and caught pic of him doing that....

2. The rays on his dorsal fin seems to bend quite a lot... ( pic attached)

is this a symptom of a bad disease? is he going to be ok?

help me pls...

here's a pic of his dorsal fin....

and here's a pic of him doing the 180 stretch...

Is the 180 an old pic? Most of the time hm's are sold or shown at their prime. With age they droop and the finnage becomes too heavy for them to spread. I'm not a huge fan of the hm because of this. Although they're beautiful when they're pretty young His dorsal is fine. It's not a disease. It's just 'sprained' of a sort from flaring.

yes..the 180 stretch pic is an old pic...
you're saying that they can stretch until 180 degrees when they're still young...
does that mean that he can't be a halfmoon anymore? can it be fixed or anything?
i've tried to exercise him ( make him flare at his own image ) bout half an hour per day... will it work?

anyway... about the dorsal fin.. can it be fixed? since my CT also facing the same problems... i think i better do something with it....it looks really bad for my CT...
he's a mess with most of his dorsal fin rays bend like that...
what cause them to bend like that? is it the water condition?
