I've had a yabby for a few months, size is about 2.5in, everything seemed to be normal, she was very active, and then a few days ago it looked like the right back leg was deformed/bent above the middle of the leg and the two legs immediately in front of it seemed to not be functioning correctly. To walk around, she curls her tail as a peg-leg and often times flips over in the process. In my 20g-long tank with it I have a bamboo shrimp, 5 cherry shrimp and an amano, several pieces of bog log, plastic plants, course gravel, and a hollow log she uses to hide in. The water is clear, I vacuum weekly and the other critters are doing well. temp is at 76deg. I thought maybe she got her rear leg caught in a piece of bog log in one of her climbing expeditions, but it doesn't explain the other two non functioning legs in front of it. This is my first crayfish / lobster and I can't figure out what happened to her or what I should do differently for her besides looking for any small pockets in the bog log.
