I bought two female guppies from petco and apparently they were both pregnant. While I was catching the fry, one of them, hiding under the gravel, got crushed. When I caught it, I noticed that it's tail was crooked and I was scared it would die. It stayed on the bottom of the tank and did not eat. It looked like it could not swim. I moved it into a smaller container and target fed it and a few weeks later it got healthier, but it's tail is still crooked. I was wondering if the tail will ever fix itself and would people adopt it if it's tail is still broken?
 
It will not fix itself. Target feeding probably is the only way to keep it alive if it can't swim.
