G'day! I am new to this website and I am hoping to find someone who can answer a question I have had for months. A while back one of my red wag platies gave birth. They are now full grown. Only two of them have deformities where their spines are curved a bit. But one of the two is VERY different. She is much smaller than her siblings and not only has a curved spine but is very short and round. Her are pictures of her. Could this be some form of dwarfism I have never heard of? She eats and acts completely normal. Her and her other deformed sibling happily reside in a 10 gallon tank to prevent bullying in the 50 gallon community tank. Sorry if the pictures are sideways, I don't know how to fix that.
