Oscar seems to have bruised jaw. Could it be dislocated

[Sharanraaj]

I just noticed my large Oscar acting weird. I took a closer look and noticed that it’s bottom jaw is miss positioned. I waited for a while then fed it. It ate like usual. Could it be dislocated and is there anything I can do to help it?

Could be. Is it eating? Is it moving it’s mouth.

I've seen this quite often with line bred oscars. I think breeders are more focused on the coloration, rather than conformation.

thats a pretty one

It’s eating and moving

Is there anything we can do to fix it?

Was the jaw normal and then one day you noticed it like this? Or is this a new fish so you don’t really know? I’m going to say there’s nothing you can do about it. My oscars mouth doesn’t line up perfectly and it makes him look a bit derpy?‍

Had him since he was small. Just saw it two days ago.
