Hey everyone,
My Jack Dempsey can't seem to close it's mouth. It's been like this for a little over a week. It's open 24/7. I tried to look inside to see anything, but nothing seems to be stuck. He has trouble eating also...=\ Any ideas? Here's a pic:


Thanks,
Lam[/font]

Your Dempsey has all the indicators of a stroke...

A fact of life with some fish and readily noticeable in the larger species.

Maybe, just maybe, he'll recover if he can still eat. If not, he will thin out and die.
