How Did My Guppy Die?

[Joinerlavin]

Hi all, so I have had a guppy living on his own in my tank for about 6 months now but he was looking abit worse for wear, his back was bent and his tail fin was jagged, I got a female the other day young and boistorus and yesterday my male guppy died

did he die from being old or some disease???

I think it might have been a disease.
the bent back and tail are the clues, im not to sure what it is called but i believe that its not transferable.

he probably was born with a deformd back, and as he got older it grew more & more out of shape till his body could no longer carry the damage/extra stress from the deformity. Sorry

Guppies are in-bred that much, this is very common...

yea he allways seemed different from the other guppies I had a while back, Bent back, very small compared to the others. Oh well he enjoyed his short life
