Deformed fry - will they make it?

[Noviceafter2yea]

I have 3 week old platy fry. Two seem to be abnormally shaped. Neither is exhibiting abnormal behavior. I would like to know if there is a possibility if they will live despite these anomalies.

Scoliosis?

Check the kh levels in your tank. I had similar problems with my guppies and it was caused by low kh levels.

Usually when fish breed, you will end up with some type of deformity every now and again because of so much inbreeding in the industry. I recently had 300+ cory cat fry with 25 deformities. Most were midgets, never grew past 1/4 inch and eventually most died, I had a few survive that are now 6 months old.

Another batch I had, all mutant cory cats survived and they are 6+ years old now. Some were born with 1/2 a body and some had messed up fins.

I also have a guppy with a curved spine....she is 2 years old.

But most will survive common mutations like curved spines or deformed fins.
