missing mouth

[yoitsfrankk]

Soo I wake up this morning and my angel fish is missing the bottem lip down to its gills. It can't eat and looks to be in pain, so is there a way to feed it until it grows back (if it does) or should I put it out of its missery?

Thank you. =)

yea that thing is a definite euthanesia

The missing jaw cannot regenerate anymore. If you feel the fish cannot eat properly, it will simply starve to death. Consider euthanasia.

I had guppies without mouths. They survived a columnaris attack. Even though they had no lips, they could ingest food. Try flake, it's softer. At least give the fish a chance. It may look freaky, but given a few days to adjust, your fish might keep going. Keep that water pristine!

if it defenitely can't eat, I'd definitely euthanize it...

Well, what happened?

if it cant eat, just euthanize it. sorry this happened to your fish!

sorry for a late update my computer broke and I'm using my sidekick. but about a hour after I posted it died, sucks that it happened but the up-side is that I didn't have to kill it. the angel was fighting another angel and I guess the other bit its mouth off. =0
