So I just bought 20 RCS from an online supplier and everything was going fine. Today, I noticed a shrimp curled up under an almond leaf and I lifted it up to see if it was ok. It tried to swim away but it just flipped over and started swimming really weirdly. When I looked closer, I saw its whole tail gone. I isolated it in a beaker for further inspection. Some of the swimmerets closer to the tail are stuck in a swimming position and the whole tail is almost gone. There is also a black area around the severed tail area beginning to form. Can someone help me identify any issues?
The tank that shrimp was in is home to a few neon tetras and shrimp, along with 2 nerite snails. I had kept cherry shrimp in the same tank for weeks without any issues.
Here's a pic of the shrimp:
