fievels007 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have a neon who is not looking well. He/she has had an open mouth for a week now, isolates himself and has a tendancy to swim facing down. I thought he'd be dead by now, but he's not, so dpes anyone know what I can do to help him?

Caryl Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 If he is unable to eat I would put him out of his misery. Lockjaw seems to be something predatory fish, particularly marines, are more likely to get so I doubt it is the case with your neon. Some fish, like goldfish, have a tendency to swallow stones with the occasional one getting stuck. Again, I doubt the neon did this. It is possible he whacked into something and damaged his jaw, otherwise I can't think of anything else being the cause. Can't suggest a cure either sorry.
