What's this

KING KONG · Dec 28, 2023

Things r getting worse as now i can catch this growth in camera. It's jaw is getting more and more worse and loosing shape. I don't think it's lockjaw as it's yawning and begging for food too. Look at it's lower jaw i had marked that growth this time. Got some new photos and posted link of last threadhttps://www.reef2reef.com/threads/lionfish-has-dislocated-jaw-or-maybe-lockjaw.1025519/

There was a lot of confusion in last thread coz i couldn't got good pic but now i hv i think

Looks like a post injury infection and yawning is vs a sign of flukes. If flukes, you will see increased breathing rate, loss of appetite, scratching itself and listless behavior

Can't be flukes as i hv treated it before for that in hypo and i hv not introduced anything else. I may try fw dip today itself. Breathing rate is normal i think.

Should i treat for bacterial then?
