Blood parrot w/deformed mouth

[Americancichlidsaredabest]

I have this blood parrot who I’ve had for almost a year now and his mouth has just gotten more and more deformed and it’s to the point he can’t close it now. He likes vibra bites but all my other fish usually get to them first. Is there any food that will be easier for him to eat? Or for me to select feed him?

Like all blood parrots mouths are deformed lol
If it is that bad I would just separate

Mine does a good job with the small hikari cichlid pellets and doesn’t have a functional mouth. Flake food may be easier for it as well.

1 or 2mm pellets. Aquatic Foods has some excellent mixes.
