Aro Dislocated Jaw (video)

charlesT · 25-02-2013, 09:40 PM

Hi all,

I suspect that my 9" Prestige Gold has dislocated its jaw during a comm fight

.. Now its jaw is slightly crooked and slanted to the side causing it to unable to close its mouth completely.

Has anyone encounter this problem before? Is this injury curable? Any inputs, experiences and comments welcome.

Heard and read some advice that it's possible to bag out the fish and push the jaw back into place. Anyone tried this? Any sharing on method of pushing back the jaw?

Check with farm owners bro. They should be able to give good advice or even aid to perform any necessary ops.
