Not sure if I should be concerned for her or not. A several weeks ago she had a very difficult birth of mostly aborted fry. She was all over the tank dropping them and very stressed. Since then, she has become deformed. Her baby birthing area (don't know the technical term) has remained swollen and the top of her is very hunched. She acts normal. Perfectly normal. Eat well, swims and plays with the others just fine. Just funny looking. The other fish in the tank have had no issues at all. In fact one of the females just had some fry. Should I be concerned? I don't want to euthanize her if it's just a deformity and not an illness. She's a very happy girl. Plus the male doesn't bother her anymore! LOL

I've attached a photo. Not very clear but you can see how she's shaped.

Thanks for any advice!
