I have a green lantern platy who doesn't look right. I never noticed until I got a second green lantern and they don't look alike. His lower jaw sticks out further, he is longer and slimmer and there is a slight curve near his tail. I don't think he has TB he swims fine, his colors are fine, his eyes are fine and he eats and defecates normally. I know these guys are overbreed so should I just accept that he's different or be worried about disease?
 
Many fish can live long lives not quite the same as the rest. Would be worried if it is a female and you have males in case it were to be or get pregnant, might be a bad circumstance for the fish. Breeding in general with poor stock is a negative. Most fish like that if it isn't a illness/disease, would have been culled for breeding healthy future stock.

Pics would be helpful.
