Platy with a curved spine with pics... HELP!

[Dawnthepixie]

This condition might be due to age old poor stock, but whatever the cause, a fish in this condition can no longer be treated. Take it back to the LFS...

That's what I thought, but my daughter really wanted to somehow help. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
Sincerely

Not necessarily, they're just pointing out the commonality and causes for it particular to Platys

Dawn, sorry about your issue here.

This is an 8yr/old thread. Best to start a new one next time,

Like said, getting a sick livebearer like a platy from a LFS is very common. Is this a brand new, uncycled setup? That can be stressful on a fish as well.

Very old fish often have curved spines...& other issues

But I agree, you need to start a new thread so we can help you.

We'll need lots of info: tank size, water parameters, fish, water change schedule, etc. & that's just for starters. But we do want to help you!
