I got this Wrassie a few weeks ago and he is really cool. Friendly and likes to show off. About a week after getting him I noticed his mouth seemed weird, but he was eating fine. Then it got worse and I did some searching and it looked like broken jaw from something. Now it's worse. He is hiding most of the time and eats very little. Any help with what is going on here?

Unfortunately there isn’t much that you can do if he has a broken or injured jaw that is preventing him to eat. The best you can do now if that’s the right diagnosis is to keep water quality high, aerated, and make sure it’s stress free & maybe he will be healed overnight to a pt where he can start eating.

This is a tough one as it is severely deteriorated and may or may not heal and risk is if fish has ability to eat or not. Best food if it can accept any will be brine shrimp and best medication for this condition is Seachem kanaplex or Neoplex
