It would probably be best to start your own thread on this. Pictures would definitely provide more information. The jaw being offset could be from a broken jaw or from a birth defect. I've seen and had both. In any case these tend to be very hardy fish that will usually find a way to still feed. I used to have a Florida that had broken it's bottom jaw took a bit longer but he still ate and grew with the other gars. Same thing with deformed jaws. Just realize the jaw will not fix itself.
