Sick lineatus wrasse

[bonomo53]

Had this guy for around 2 months and he devolved this around 2 weeks ago.
He is still eating very well. So far i treated him with em erythromycin, general cure and fed him some pees but nothing is helping. Not sure if it is a swim bladder. Is there anything else i can try on him?
Thanks

This looks like a spinal injury to me, this happened to my first lineatus. They will either recover or they won't , I'm not sure how much you can help. If I remember correctly there was little that could be done.

He looks awful thin, that doesn't bode well IMO. I wish the best though I really hope I am wrong

Mine got his injury jumping in to the plexiglass lid, not very forgiving. Kept him in but hurt him.

Thank you for quick reply. He is actually pretty fat it must just be the video. I was thinking the same that he must have hit something.
Also thanks for tagging the experts.

I agree, injury is the most likely explanation here. Unfortunately, this doesn't usually end well.

I would agree that it looks like a spinal injury, a pretty bad one at that. In some cases fish can recover, but this is a pretty bad looking case.
