I have 3 RCC's and they were living together in my tank ok for the past 4 months with the minor "scuffles" for territory but nothing ever serious. Just a few minutes ago, i heard some scuffling and went to check what was going on. The bigger RCC must've tried to attack the smallest RCC (territorial?) and I saw the little one's left claw is damaged badly. It was in an awkward position and I saw some fluid come out of it when he moved it around a bit underwater. It looks to still be intact but not sure how badly the claw is cracked. Will my RCC survive? Will he just tear off his entire claw due to the damage or will it heal (exoskeleton?) in the next few days/weeks?
Anything I should do to help him? I've taken out the larger RCC permanently and will provide him/her with it's own smaller tank (plastic container).
I see the small one is just sitting now and looks to be having some water or bubbles coming out of his mouth and his right claw is holding his left claw still.
