The chinthe jaw

[norico]

Have you heard the chinthe jaw out ?
My fish always open a mouth. And she can't eat.
I am not sure how she doing. She is 3 months, and I did breeding. I thought she ate feed big open mouth, then her chinthe jaw out.

How can I help her ?

I'm sorry I don't understand your post. You're feeding your fish but she can't eat? What are you feeding her (brand & type of food)? Does she try to get the food but misses it or isn't able to open her mouth?

I am sorry.
She always open her mouth. And she looks like she can't eat foods.

They open & close their mouths. Are you seeing any white or fuzzy stuff in her mouth? Is she eating at all? What are you feeding her? What are her tank conditions; size, heated, filtered? How often do you change her water & how much do you change?

Is her mouth open all the time? Can she close it at all?

Has she always had this problem since she was born? Or is this something new?

When was the last time she ate?

On sunday, I feed small Tubificina. Then she can't open & close her mouth. Before feeding I always feed to Otohime. Her tank is 5 gallon, heatered and filter. I change water everyday, 50% and 100%.

No, she didn't have any desease. But she born with 100 fry. Then her simble gone. She is only one alive.

I can't look into her mouth.

chinthe jaw isn't a phrase in English, I think you have a wrong word in there some place.
To me it sounds like a deformity she was born with. Can you post a picture or video?

I think you are asking if the chin & jaw work the same as a humans? Yes, the chin goes up & down, there is a lower & upper jaw. If her mouth is always open then there is a problem & from what I understand of your post, you fed her tubificina (I don't know what that is) & then she couldn't close her mouth. . . is this correct? Does she appear to be trying to get something out like something got stuck? Is the jaw just hanging there?
