hey guys, i purchased a nickel to quarter sized (body) angelfish today for my 29g planted tank. hes going to go in there with 2 bn plecos and about 10 red-eyed tetra.

i put him in my 2.5g quarantine tank today (which houses 3 bloodfin tetra to keep it cycled) and noticed that his mouth is crooked to one side, and seems like its stuck open. i dont know if he got hit with the net when the petco idiot was scooping him out because i was over looking at thermometers...

but i was wondering if you guys think his mouth will straighten out over time??
 
my gold severum has a crooked mouth thats slightly open and it hasnt affected him in anyway. Just keep an eye on it and see what happens
 
I had a venustus that had a crooked mouth from birth I believe. It never straightened out. Didn't really affect him however. It gave him some extra personality, made it look like he was smirking at you. Lol
