Lately my females endlers livebearers have been disappearing. A few days before they disappear I always notice they have a deformed spine. At first it was just my female endlers. They always have deformed spines before they disappear and I never find any trace of their body whatsoever. Now one of my ember tetras has it as well. I'm starting to wonder if this is actually a contagious disease and I need to QT the whole tank or it's just bad stock (I do buy all my fish from the same store).
Water params:
Ammo 0 ppm
Nitrites 0 ppm
Nitrates 20-40 ppm depending on when I test them.
Here's two pictures. Normal vs. deformed spine
Excuse the specs in the water I just did a water change an hour ago.
