Try to do water change with aged water and monitor. Hope the gill curl only just happen. Good luck and cheers.

maybe you can add airstones into yr tank to improve aeration.

Aged with water condition added and with airstone on for at least 24 hrs the best. Good luck, Bro

has the hard part of the gill been curled as well?

POOR WATER QUALITY....faster do water change and add some salt will do....increase aeration as well...

there are many possibilities for the caused! maybe is the water condition. maybe lack of oxygen. maybe lack of space. that depend!
at the initial state many will recommend frequent wc and aeration.
yes, there is medication for this, got to know this from C328. can try medication plus frequent wc n aeration. hope it will help!
