Looks like it could be broken jaw and possibly an infection starting to set in?

Response to Cory

 

Thanks for the response, Cory! I've had 5 harlequins with a very docile male betta since I got them about 8 weeks ago. I've never noticed any aggression, but I guess that that doesn't mean much. It only takes a second.

 

Anyway, what would you recommend that I do with him? I can't tell if he's eating. I know that he's trying. I don't want him to just starve to death, but my only other option I guess is to euthanize him?

 

Dave's question regarding lockjaw is a good one, too. Any thoughts there?

 

Thanks again for your response and your thoughts. You're my number one go to, and I really appreciate everything you do, including this forum. Looking forward to getting the java moss from Aquarium Co-op tomorrow 👍

I have a harlequin whose mouth has been stuck open for about a week... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
