Yellow Wrasse Swimming Poorly

[willforr]

My yellow coris wrasse just started to swim strangely today. I’ve had it for a few months already but just now it seems like it keeps sinking to the bottom; it can’t hold itself in a normal position. Does anybody know what this is and what I can do to treat it?

Likely a spinal injury from jumping or diving into the glass. Sorry.

What happens then? Is it treatable?

Usually it's terminal. If the fish can still eat and swim, then maybe it can live for a while. Sorry for the bad news. Wrasses are the only fish I ever see this in. I've had 2 do this.
