So my favorite guppy thought it would be fun to act retarded, like swimming around the tank up-side down and trying to get food with her butt. She did that for a few days and now her body's in an upside-down U shape and she can't move the middle of her body. Otherwise she's pretty normal (eating, sleeping, ect.) I don't know if fishes can actually brake their backs or vertebrates or whatever or if she's just being even more retarded. I don't want to get her refunded just to find out that nothing's wrong with her.

sounds like fish tuberculosis, or it could just be that it ate air bubbles while eating the food, but since its body looks odd, is not just air.
some guppys are kept in bad conditions in the store, and this can lead to a new disease called fish TB, it is very common in "feeder fish", the reason why is called TB, is because the fish looks healthy and fine in the store and then once you put it on your new aquarium, it goes all skinny, and dies, tuberculosis can live in the fish for years until the fish gets stressed enough that the virus wakes up, for example when you ship them, since they are in a bag with sudden temperature changes, once they get home they start dying. few conditions that lead to tuberculosis is overcrowded tanks, like the feeders' tank. im pretty sure its TB because i have had feeder fish do the same thing, and they eat normally, etc.
