Either way to much inbreeding, and even if you just bought them, it is possible you got a batch that had been over inbred already.

Or Fish Tuberculosis. Either one can and will cause bent spines/deformities.

Other than that not sure, I'm sure someone else will be along shortly.
 
A bent spine is a common birth defect, but if a fish suddenly develops a bent spine, poor nutrition from an inadequate diet or Tuberculosis may be the cause.
