Guppy Fry With Crooked/bent Back!?

[iheartjeffrey]

I haven't gotten around to posting this question here so it has been about a week since this occurrence with my fry. They were born the 29th of last month, I inspected each & every fry and they were all normal and healthy. I noticed this single fry to have a sort of crooked/bent spine or back. Im not sure if I caused this while cleaning on accident but the fry never had this problem which I just noticed. They fry is swimming normal & at the same speed as the others, eats fine as well. Now I cant take any pictures so I found a picture that looks alike to the fry's situation.

Now this looks alike to my fry, except with the picture my fry's back is bent opposite. Bent from the top downwards. Can anyone tell me what I should do with this little fella?

I've got a couple platies like this, sad to see them like it, they're just born like it
But mine are now grown up and are fine
His backs still the same, but he moves,eats and is just healthy like all of the others

Aww Im sorry you have the same situation Although this little guy wasn't born like this all my fry were healthy and im sure of it. I think I may have unknowingly injured him during cleaning But since he's fine I will just be keeping for as long as he'll live for since he is doing alright. Good to hear your fish is doing well even after having a messed up back

It's probably worth out crossing your strain and not breeding from the deformed fish.

No they are all different, theres only a couple, but as i will be selling on the males my of them are males, so they will be going.

I'm not breeding mine for show, so having fry with like that isn't much of a problem really. But I doubt its a genetic problem with my fry because he never had the bent back until now

They're born like it. Quite a few of my first batch were like it. I couldn't bring myself to kill them or feed them to other fish so i just let them be. They were fine otherwise. They have all since been rehomed with friends and family.
