I'm thinking maybe Fish Tuberculosis.....

But it's hard to tell for sure, unfortunatly.

I had a molly to do the same thing and I took it to the vet and she told me that a parasite causes this. I just couldnt figure out how a parasite could cause ones back to bend. So I took her advice and went and got some parasite medicine. It was made by Jungle products and sure enough the fish got better in four days. I also gave it salt dips too. I kept the water very clean and the fish started to gain its weight back and it straightened up too. I hope this helps some. Good luck with it too..
