Curled tails are signs of stress. What is the temp of the water? Such a small volume of water can heat quickly. What are you using to treat the water? Chlorine is literally a killer. Check the parameters of your water to make sure nothing else is wrong as well. I have 4 juvies who were shipped to VA from FL and all are thriving. Good luck! Shannon
