Sophia Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 How about a 7 month old fry? He started with a bent back, still has a bit of one, but has never grown any bigger than he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Could be some poor genetics somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice222 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have a cpd fry that had a bent back from a few days old. Not sure if it was an injury or genetics, since I accidentally sucked up a fry once during a WC once. Thought about culling it, but I'm pretty glad I didn't. It got a little better as it grew, but it is still slightly bent if I look closely, it's also smaller than the rest, but it's colouration is actually pretty good! I always keep a close eye on him though, runts tend to be the first to get ill it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgustipated Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 i have an inanga which is shaped like an m.. not sure why, he came like that. i have several bent guppies too, never sucked anything up in a wc.. could these quasimodo fish have anything to do with inbreeding?

Ira Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 could these quasimodo fish have anything to do with inbreeding? That's an extremely likely possibility. Most of the fish bred by hobbiests have a family tree that looks sort of like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
