Bent endler guppy

[Fishlover3578]

I have an endler guppy that I have had since end of June and when I went to change him from 2.5 tank to 20 I noticed he is bent now... He swims fine not sure what happens... Maybe I squashed him when changing stuff?

Most likely a deformation due to inter breeding.

Agreed. Sometimes it takes awhile for deformities to show up.

He didnt start out that way an was straight when bought and is only tiny bit bigger than when purchased

Many genetic defects do not show up until a certain size or stage of growth is reached, so even though he looked ok when you got him, he is showing a very common genetic defect that can be caused by inbreeding, or just rotten luck in the genetic lottery that is reproduction.
