Not Good!

Come hrom work and I noticed the rehomed O has got a broken jaw sometime during the night.

I have nothing around at the min to seperate him from Scar and nowhere is open and i have to sleep. ANyone know if homebase or Focus sell perspex at their stores?? if they do i can fashion a divider out of it and give the rehomed O a chance to recover in peace, and decide what i'm gonna do. Didnthink they had a problem and have been showing signs of Pairing!! then i come home to a broken jaw. I do wonder if he's smashed into one of the brace bars or lid or light bar. but know it oculd have been from jaw locking.

DO fish jaws heal over i dont think they heal perfectly but do they heal at all, i know water changes and will does some melafix/pimafix to stave off infection.

Nothing you can do. You could just keep him in a hospital tank Nd see if it heals and it might but it will never be the same and he will always look a little funny.

I dont think there is anything you can do about it.

Not a lot you can do really, I had a Koi carp that broke its jaw (never knew how) it healed but left him with a wonky mouth, but he is fine otherwise.

if he is earring and shows no signs of stress or illness I would just let it heal and it will. He should be fine just a little messed up looking.
