rowie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This could be 1 of 2 things1 it could be a deformity in the fish itself as i have seen a few comps with this same deformity2 your firefin has dislocated its jaw a problem more often found in oscars but if this is the case and the fish hasn't always been like this try pushing its jaw back in with a ear bud/cotton bud whatever they are called i've done this to an oscar before and he was fine after a few daysCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
