Hello MFKers!!

What I have is a Firemouth that I think has a locked jaw or a Parasite. I have moved him since then into a medical tank and started treating for Parasite thinking that might be the trick or swim bladder. So I treated him and no luck :( So next I removed him out of the tank and tried to close his mouth or see if anything was in the mouth nothing, oh and when he was in the the main tank there was no problem until I notice that his mouth wouldn't close. Next I did a epsom salt bath for ten min and looked better but no luck with that either. Is color is bright and colorful and will not eat and breathes some what hard what do I do>>>>>>>>>>>>>>???????
 
Wow. You aren't sure what it is but you're treating with a whole bunch of medications. My advice, do a large water change. Get some carbon and run it for 48 hours. Post a picture of your fish and post your water parameters.
