hi. i have a flowerhorn about 3 inch and he got in a fight with my female. my female is about 3.5 or near 4. half of his jaw got rip off. i took him out and put him in a new tank already with some aquarium salt and stress coat. is there anything else that i can do to help him? it been 3 days now since he got injured and he look like he is healing up quickly but he is still missing half of his jaw. when i look at him he look like he is in one of those horror movie like a guy with half of his face missing. so can his jaw grow back over time? i dont really mind about the scale near his jaw. im ok with the scale near its jaw grow back and doesnt have color. im just worry about his jaw because i know fishes depend on their mouth a lot. my flowerhorn can still eat but it just look weird when u look at him on the side that was injured. sorry about the bad images cause i was trying to lure him out without scaring him.

Might get more responses switching it to the flowerhorn section dose the tank with melafix on a regular basis and maybe it will heal up but probably not completely the way it was originally by the way what type of flowerhorn do you have there is it a thai silk cross of some sort
