What are his tank mates and are any missing?

From the pictures that you sent, the fact that the bottom of the green's lower jaw is very bulbous, just like a male carrying fry. Normally aros mouth do not look like this- There is nothing much one can do, just wait and see, I am almost certain it will go back to normal in time.

its not broken, just inflamed and swollen, give him time. and as 4 not eating, sorry u really cant do much about that, maby feed him small soft foods.

tank mates are rays and datnoids, they are all too big to fit in aro's mouth, and every one is still in the tank.

I change water twice a week and all measures are in good order, hopefully he will turn out ok, it kinda bothers me why his jaw is like this... cant figure it out.

its probebly just swollen. wait a week and see if it heals. he could of eat a bad meal worm.

 

[skylar69]

isnt a water change 2 a week 2 much, and a meal worm couldnt have don that

 

[LiuHsi]

I do not think w/c caused it. The rays created too much bioload for the tank.

Also, there is some thing growing on the bottom of the chin..

maby a ray shanked him in the mouth with his barb
