Yellow Eye Kole Tang Jaw Lock

[mw1611]

My Yellow Eye Kole Tang seems to be having a jaw lock. It's mouth has been open for a week already but I still see it peck at my glass and rocks so I didn't think too much.. Until these two days, it just hides at my LRs. Any solution for this? If this continues, think it will die of hunger :'(

i used to encounter this before. i cant really help it, like it has dislocated its jaw, or something... it pass away days later..

Sad to hear this bro. However if do nothing, the fish will die. My advice is to net it out wrap it with a wet tower, press it firmly and try to dislock the jaw with a spenser, grip the lower jaw stretch out and push back slowly. It should be able fully close if the alienment is correct.

Hope for the best. Cheers,

Hmm.. But I read somewhere that if not done properly, it will break the jaw bone of the fish.. I've been monitoring it these two days.. The lower jaw seems to be able to move a little now.. Wonder if that means that its getting better.. But I still don't see it eat.. Sigh..
