That's kind of a vague description. What do ya mean by "bending"? Do they have their fins clamped by the sides of their bodies? Are they acting like they're tryin' to bite themselves, like maybe to pick off a parasite? Need a little more description as to the type of behavior yer seein'.

I'm not sure what you mean by bending. Pictures would help. Is it a bent spine or is it a certain way they are swimming?

Any red streaking in fins or gills? How long has the tank been set -up? Any sign of a parasite, white spots like ich? What is the water temperature? Check ammonia and nitrite readings. Shimmying often occurs with gill flukes as well. The black lateral stripe is likely fright/sickness coloration. First thing I'd do based on what I know is an 80% water change.

How big are they and how many do you have in what size tank? It could be territorial or spawning dance to! We need more info.
