Do you have a friend or someone who is a vet or w/ some experience that can do it for you ? The only danger for the fish is dying of starvation (not being able to eat) but that doesn't happen overnight so you have time.
If the jaw doesn't go back on its own and you are not able to put it back, make some calls and take it to a vet that knows fish.
GL and keep us posted.

Like nomad said wait at least 6 hours.
If it still aint right, Take it out. And lay it in a polybox lid. It should lie still. Use finger to as a hook, and extend out mouth and it should pop back in. But do it at your risk, ifs it's already broken then it could make it worse. I took a chance by doing it to one of my old tigers thathad the same thing u describe few years back, where it's jaw was always sticking out.

news??

glad to hear that the jaw went back ....the bigger the dat the longer can go w/out food...other than keeping the water clean and adding salt is not much you can do now .

Probably just a little stressed, especially if you tried popping it back yourself. Just give him time to calm down and he should be fine.
