Oh, that is very serious, the cut is deep into the jaw bone. The fish is breathing a bit fast, but that could just be that the damaged area is making respiration more difficult. Was there any indication that an injury started all this? What medications have you used during QT? You could dose the QT to hold off a bacterial infection, but to be honest, I don’t see that jaw healing properly.
