Deformed Baby Platy?

[domsmom]

Don't know if I have a problem or this is even the right forum to be in. But I was looking at the 5 Mickey mouse platy fry in our nursery this morning. They were born 12-9. And one of them looks as though the body itself is crooked?! The others look nice and straight. This one just looks like it has a crimp, if you will, right towards the end of its body. Is this something I should be concerned with?
Other than that, the little guy seems to be swimming and eating normally.
Thanks in advance!

I've had several guppies with cured or bent spines . It was from in breeding because they are constantly pregnant . It's good to mix it up and get fish from
Other sources . There are many causes for it, inbreeding being the most likely candidate . Mine were not sick, just had the curved spine. More info below
