If a fish become pregnant too young, I heard that their fry can be born with genetic defects such as curved spines. I'm worried about this since my molly just had about 40 fry. I can't find pictures that show what fry with bad spines look like. Does any body know what they look like? Know of any pictures? Thanks for your help. I really want to make sure the fry are healthy. They look healthy, with round full stomachs and they're growing rapidly, but you never know. __________________ 29 gallon tank-2 orange Mickey Mouse platies, 2 white Mickey Mouse platies, 2 dalmatian mollies, 3 bleeding heart tetras, 2 serpae (blood) tetras, 1 peppered corydora catfish, 1 upside down catfish, 4 otocinclus catfish -hornwort plants, sword plant 5 gallon tank-molly fry, platy fry -hornwort plants 1.5 gallon hospital tank-empty Updated: 1/20/10 R.I.P.
