working out a trade for one of my cichla for a TSN, the person i might trade sent me these photos, it looks like a big lump or deformity of some sort on his head? any ideas as to what this may be? the fish is approx 18" .. would it still be healthy?

big time broken jaw. probly was in a 55 tank that was to small and got spoked and slammed into side of tank. will it live yes will it ever be able to eat right NO. you will need to cut its food smaller and be carefull to watch it just in case. also its tail is off and not straight up nor is its dorsal.

great thanks alot. Im not going to make the trade unless i can see him eating in person first... also will he still be growing? or is there a possibility that he might be stunted because of the broken bone?
 
u can tell by the pic hes been eating. He doesnt look un healthy. Just looks like he ran into a wall.
