GloFish/Zebra Fish with a bent tail?

Well we have these GloFish, which are basically genetically engineered, fluorescent zebra fish. There is this one red one who's tail is bent sideways, so instead of being straight she is like a Z shape. I feel so bad! We just noticed it this morning. She can still swim around and everything, but I cannot tell if she is able to move her tail or not. I have read about other GloFish owners with this problem, but the tails of their fish all bent downwards. Please help me! I am desperate to find an answer. Will she die? Will she infect the other fish? I have 3 other GloFish and a catfish. Will they get this affliction? Thanks so much!

P.S. one of our other GloFish died 2 weeks ago because he got stuck between the tank wall and the little filter. Could her tail have been bent because she got stuck back there as well? It is pretty gruesome to look at!!! Thanks again,
