It could be swim bladder I would treat with Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 2 gallons for no more than 15 minutes for a couple of days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxants to relieve pressure on the swim bladder if you see no improvement after a couple of days I would do a course of kanaplex in food as some swim bladder problems can be caused by a bacterial infection

As you haven't seen any improvement after treating with maracyn what I would do is increase water changes add some indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties as @813aquatics suggested and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons the salt will help with Gill function and add essential electrolytes at that level it shouldn't harm your plants and monitor for 1 week if it's getting worse or your seeing no improvement after a week I would treat with maracyn2 in food as the active ingredient is minocycline that has proven affective at shrinking some types of lumps such as Granulomas and benign cysts and it's used to treat abscesses feed a small amount twice a day for 7 days

Bent or deformed spine can be caused by lack of minerals in your water what are your water parameters and have you added anything new to the tank resently and how long have fish been showing symptoms

Possible Columnaris or bacterial infection the best treatment is kanaplex and jungal fungas clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone together following this treatment schedule use Jungal fungas clear instead of furan2 as it has been discontinued I would Qarantine and treat separately keep a close on your other fish if any start to symptoms treat the main tank straight away following the treatment schedule

Methylene blue can harm you benefial bacterial I would only use in a bath you can use ick x to treat fungal infection I would finish your course of jungal fungus clear fizz tabs and then treat with ick x if there no improvement if you getting regular out breaks of fungal infection then something else could be going on such as stress poor water quality or nutrition weakening their immune system making then more susceptible

So two weeks apart like ParaCleanse.
Every two weeks you can do third course of prazipro if your still seeing symptoms after two courses of treatment
