Peacock bass

[Droptopwop]

Droptopwop I think its a deformity not a dislocation then. if it continues to eat and grow then I would not euthanize it. Just keepan eye out and make sure it is not suffering. Other than the jaw its a beautifully bass! so is the other one. Do you know what species it is?

I can't remember the exact name but does start with a m and yes he's never not eaten his hole life and he still stretches his mouth wide from time to time and it functions normal just grew in weird ?

Maybe just poor genetics since pbass are captive bred. Best of luck with it.

Thank you so much

Looks like a cull that got missed. It should be fine just a birth defect.

What do you mean cull ?

 

[TheWolfman]

A cull is a fish with a birth defect that is removed from the group of fry and euthanized to keep the genetics of the species proper for the next generation.
