I have two oscars in a 90gallon tank, penguin 350 and aquaclear 110 filters running. Water parameters are:
ammonia: 0
nitIte: 0
nitrAte: 10 ppm

Well, this afternoon after a water change (few hours later), I looked in to see how everything was, and I noticed that one oscar had what appears to be a broken jaw, I don't think that this is lockjaw, he can still stretch it open it but cannot close it all the way because I have seen him eat the hikari pellets I threw in. Anyone know of anything special to fix it / help it heal?

Have the 2 O's been fighting? If so, put up a divider and see if that mellows them out. It should heal on it's own. If he is eating, I probably wouldn't worry too much about it.
Anyone else have any ideas?????

Nope, the two are like butt buddies, always swimming with one another, actually they really don't go to opposite sides of the tank, one goes then they both go. I think (s)he did it running into the glass or something.
