Question Scoliosis fishy

We have several new baby guppies. Noticed that one looks a little odd. It is about a week old or so. It is bent into what looks like a relaxed "v" Should I feed him to my angel fish or let him grow up as a special fish? He swims normal and everything. I'm pretty sure I can't get him a fishy brace or anything so... thoughts?

Not really I have 2 like that and they are still going strong, You don't want to leave them in the main tank though as you don't want them to breed. If you can set up a small tank for them that would be fine to keep them. If not just feed them to the cichlids.
