I just bought a new baby ST two days ago and noticed today that he won't close his mouth, He has it wide open and will not close it. He is only with 3 Silver dollars and my water params are fine, What's wrong with em????
 
I have no clue but would like to see a pic of your juvi ST :D
 
It's prob just an IT. They are normally always labled Siamese tiger....

All of my tigers after a heavy feed, there mouths stay
Slightly open, not shut, due to stuffing their bullies. Once food digested, there mouth should not be wide open.

Did u feed any live food?
Is it breathing heavy? Or just open mouth?
Any pics?
 
maybe something stuck in its mouth? i had a cichlid do that once. turned out he had a massive scale from my arowana stuck in its mouth :eek:

Sorry it's a Silver Dat I don't know why I put ST, I have never fed him and he seems to be breathing hard.
 
I think that looks close to normal... Nine of my tigers mouths stay completely shut . Most a couple of mm open most of time... I just had a look to be sure.

Not much u can do. Just try to get it eating, so if something is lodged, it may help him swallow what ever it is...
 
Mine does it sometimes and its perfectly fine.
