	curling CT rays?
Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	i have had this problem once or twice, the CT rays curl up at the base. I have been told that sunlight can help strengthen them. are there any other methods?

Just to clear up though, temp is indeed one of the proposed causes, just saying that its not the only one. If you could get them to 80-85, that would be good. Some fish are predisposed to fin curling while others aren't. The curling particularly starts as the fish ages. Calcium could also play a part, but this would be for prevention rather than cure, i.e. a fish with a good enough amount of calcium in the diet may have ray curling prevented but a fish with already curled fins and then gets additional calcium would not uncurl the rays" ashley
