He was a group of 8 platy i bought a while ago, all have been fine but a certain one started to look odd after a few weeks, he was perfect when i first got him. He has got worst within the last week, any ideas as never seen anything like this before. He still tries to eat!

It looks like a spine deformatlity, but normally they happen when they're just fry and they're curved like a V, so i'm not so sure on this.
I have one that looks like that, but only half as bad at that..but he's old and i thought that maybe he was just tierd of keeping his body up
so he let him tail sink down some, but i'm not really sure, is it maybe because of the size of your tank being to small?

spine deformatlity is what i thought but he was fine when i got him! He was in a 290L tank so size wasnt the problem, i have now isolated him from bullying and also for treatment if there is any!
