Are these deformed and will they live?

Sorry, I don't know where to post this. I have 3 week old platy fry. Two seem to be,strangely shaped. There is a whitish one that looks like it is curved upward and an orange one that has a major kink in its spine. Neither seems to be acting oddly. Do you think they will be okay?

Thanks.

They will probably be fine. They're just deformed. It happens with fry. Most people cull those out but I don't think they're in any danger of dying

Hello Nov...

Livebearing fish have many fry and some have a stressful entrance. I've kept Guppies and Platys for a long time and I don't worry about the fry. I just keep the tank water pure and feed everybody regularly. The combination of lots of pure water and nourishment generally helps those that are a little different.
