Poor fish - I'm not sure how to help here, but many one of the Fish Medics will know what you can do.

I'd suggest at a minimum posting the info suggested in the quote below, and if possible reading through the link below that (particularly the "Aquarium Parameters," "Water quality," and "In-depth Information" sections) to figure out what info you can share here with the #fishmedic to get the best diagnosis and treatment advice possible:

Please provide as much of the following as you are able:

• Brief description of the issue you are observing and answers to the following questions:
  • How long have you had the fish with the condition?
  • Did you quarantine with medication when you first acquired the fish? (If Yes, which medication?)
• Current water quality measurements
• Clear photos of the issue taken using WHITE light and/or a short video of any behaviors (post in your response or on YouTube).

If you can help us by providing as much of the above info as possible, it will make diagnosing and providing recommendations for treatment MUCH easier! The Fish Medic team will get back to you as quickly as possible. In the meantime, other members of our community may also share their experience with similar situations and advice that they may have regarding your situation.

You may also feel free to provide a more detailed description of the condition if you wish to share more info than the above list.

Is it acting off at all? Any visible lesions or just the back?
Myco is not really an easily treatable infection - everything I’ve seen on it suggests that euthanizing all exposed fish is the only way to really stop it. It rarely hits plague proportions though, more often it is a killer of older fish.
It could be that the fish was injured to cause the broken back.

By the way, a qt really shouldn’t have any rock or sand - it absorbs copper meds and makes dosing tricky.

I agree with @Sharkbait19 - Mycobacteria is mostly a disease of older fish and rarely causes external lesions. Myco is found in every aquarium, even in frozen fish foods, so trying to get rid of it is a losing proposition.
