Weird shaped guppy

[sunshine79]

I have a 6ish week old guppy that was birthed with a weird shape. Gets around fine. But I have no clue as to what it is and Google just keeps saying to put it down.....

Spinal deformity. Don't breed it.

Can it really breed shaped like that?

It can. Take it out ASAP before it breeds.

Our guppy's last brood had one with a different spinal deformity- female. Not an S curve, but an upward bend. We have both females in a 10 gallon together. I worry about her quality of life sometimes, but she eats and gets around fine. Tough call.

This one gets around fine eating etc....ill put a tank buddy in there with her/him. Don't want em to be bullied!

I had one with deformed spine. It died pretty early
