Concerning the bent spines and curvatures in guppies,..AS mentioned earlier here, I bet its cause is from "Inbreeding".I had 5 bent spines in a litter of 13, from a female that was 3-4 months old. She dies and hour after havig them, I now only have 2 from the litter one with a very very bent spine and the over can't swim for long periords, there in the main tank to life out there days, I only once thought about having them PTS, but that was when there was 5 of them, and I knew I could'nt keep all 5.
there happy now lifing with there 2 antie and father, and the rest of the fish. when they die they die, least they had a little bit of life.
i have had a guppie for 18 months with a bent spine she has bred and only 2 of the 18 fry had bent spines. the other fish ate the two deformed ones, its worth persevering. good lucki have got a guppy which is a little bent in the spine(bent sideways).Should i keep it or its babies as i heard that they pass the "bent spine"gene to the babies
