Probably it is due to stress.....try cover the tank or keep it dark for a while & monitor the situation. Cheers

hmm i feel you man, i just bought some baby silver aros, some of them seem to have the same problem, the aro is not striaght and looks like they have a mini arch? Some guys on this forum suggested that my tank wasnt big enough or my water paramaters were no good. Also this can be a natural deformarity that you cant do nothign about....yup i kno it sucks!!!!

Maybe suffer from bent spine. This can be caused from vitamin C deficiency, as well as injury. If you have any electricity making its way into the water this can cause a bent spine as well.
