Penny Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hi! I have this little Cory, he was born in my tank and all of his may brothers and sisters are totally normal. This little guy, though.... He's always has a funny shaped head. I didn't expect him to live but he's thriving. He's about 2" long now and seems as healthy and active as can be. Any idea what's up with him? I definitely don't want to cull him, he doesn't seem like he's suffering at all. These Cory's are my first fish babies and I love them all!😂 Everyone else in the tank is super happy and breading. I even had a baby Oto 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Looks like some kind of spinal deformity. If you don't want to cull him, and he's happy and thriving, just enjoy him. 🙂 Do know he can pass on that trait to any future offspring. He needs a name. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 He does have a name, I should have used it. He's called Merrick 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Aww! I have a blue wag platy that was born in my 29 who has a spine that zig zags. He lives in there alone with my limia, since I can't catch him! His name is Ziggy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 I've been thinking about what to do with him, re passing on his cute, but funky genetics. My other tanks are 4 nanos (one with shrimp, two just heavily planted waiting for a special betta) and my cycled quarantine tank that I've never used yet) and a 20 gal with my two electric blue rams. I don't want him to be lonely, Hes super sociable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It might not be genetic it might be an injury when it was very young.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
