Lady-Lene Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Still eating? Sure its not a pebble stuck in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haizel Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 ph is 6.8-7.0, 27.4 temp, has been like that for a year, never seen anything like it before, tetra has been like it for about 6 weeks now, still manages to feed but looks like something out of a horror movie. All the other 20 fish in the tank are thriving, including about 10 other tetra's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I sounds like there is not enough oxegen in the water , can you try adding an airstone to the tank and turning it up high, Is the surface of the water disturbed with your current filter ?, this also would help. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 If the mouth itself is wide open & no other fish is affected. Do you think the fish in question could have a dislocated jaw? Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haizel Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I don't think so, I don't hit them hard enough to dislocate their jaws. I have given up on this one, some things you just can't cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
