Ok so less than a week ago, my 20in ck Managed to get this piece below his jaw to pop out. Originally it was white in color but over a few days it began to take a dark redish color. I Netted him and attempted to push the piece back in but was unsuccessful. I didn't want to make things worst so I didn't force it. The potruding piece is very hard and sturdy. Seems like it could be a bone. Any advice on how to resolve this issue? Here are some pics.

That's pretty crazy, never seen anything like that and I've had knives for years. Honestly man, there is probably nothing you can do but keep us updated, good luck.
 
What were you feeding him. If the prey was to big he may have popped his jaw out and there is usually nothing you can do. Had this problem with my arowana
 
He never has anything seriously big to eat. just cut up tilapia, shrimp, sinking pellets and an occassional feeder. Also he's 20in so his mouth is a decent size. Geeze so he's stuck like this forever huh?:wall::wall:
