i fed my 2 inch killifish a small cricket and it’s mouth is stuck open, can he survive? I think he may have dislocated his jaw and fear he might starve to death
Killifish mouth stuck open?
- Thread starter white specter crayfish
- Start date
right now about 2 hours, if he does die, would I be able to replace him with an african butterfly fish? I really want something similar to an arowana and that's as close as I can get, i have 5 pea puffers, 5 bumblebee gobies and 1 julidochromis dickfeldi in the 10 gallon

Not big enough for the African butterfly,
Maybe, can he still eat small items , you may want to very gently (very very) manipulate the mouth, probably won't work, but worth a try
I did when it first happened and it closed on the right side, but not the left, idk if he can still eat small stuff or not but I’ll try
I just fed him frozen brine shrimp and he ate it, his mouth is still a bit deformed though
