One of my Oscars (7") seems to have taken a beating overnight. There are 4 Oscars in a 1000ltr tank - ranging from 6" to 13". They are gentle giants normally. Occasionally they 'mouth' each other, but there has never been any real problems. However, the mouth on one of the babies seems to have been 'dislocated'. It doesn't appear to affect him at all. He is eating and being his usual self. Any suggestions of how I can help him out?

Not really unless you want to put a divider in till he heals.If you take him out for a while hell probably get a worse beating when you put him back in.If he has an open would you could use some salt 1-2tbsp/10 g bulid up to that over a few days
Thanks. There is no wound or anything, just a 'bent' jaw. As I said he seems fine in himself, and still eats like a horse. I'll move him to a spare tank for a while see how he gets on.
