My zebra danios were deformed as young fish, but as adults the deformities are no longer noticeable. I think they are not noticeable now because they have filled out. I imagine that if they lost their body mass their deformities would again be apparent. This is one possible explanation, but I have no idea how valid it is. I have been told that many zebra danios are deformed.
