What fixed his jaw? My Kelberi Bass has this same issue for the past two days and I'm getting so worried.
Peacock Bass Mouth is stuck open

Try pushing back the jaw. Not too hard. If dislocatd then some firm pressure can correct it.
I'm not 100% sure if it's dislocated or not. My Kelberi's mouth is stuck open but he can still move his jaw a little. It looks to me like he cannot close his mouth. By push it back do you mean back in place? I have no idea where to push on the jaw to do that.
I just kept feeding her until she stretched her jaw enough for it to close. It still isn’t fully closed but close enough to where she can eat and everything it took a few days just make sure she eats what do you feed and how big?
If you feed him for a few days and nothing slowly open the jaw and let it close on its own like 3 times to try and pop it back in on a wet towel as to not stress the fish out too much. Don’t force anything. Should work itself out through feeding though??
