Deformed Guppy

my deformed guppy

How did that happen? To be honest, I think putting it out of it's misery is the best choice

 

[Peter C]

Without sounding odd, is it deformed or jus the curved glass??

 

[minnnt]

chuck it...

If its that deformed, euthanasia is the best thing to do.

I've had some turn like these when they hit 1-2 weeks old, I euthanize them.

 

[Tigsy]

yeah he really is that deformed.
the glass was just to get a closer pic
poor thing lol. he went like that at 1-2 weeks old
ive had them like that before, lasted well into adulthood

i know sometimes u have to be cruel to be kind
but i dont think i could bring myself to kill him off
other than his shaped, he is perfectly healthy and
hes always first to grab the food

But you wont be able to stop him breeding and passing on his genetic deformity. So really... it is a bit...well... bad... knowing lots more will end up like it and worse.

 

[Tigsy]

good point there

 

[thereverendturtle]

Get a small predator that you may have room for and feed it the deformed fry.
