clown fish disease?

[Teddy]

yesterday i noticed that my clown fish is having trouble closing its mouth, this is what it looks like. anyone know if this is some kind of disease or is it choking on some food? it seem to be breathing and swimming normally


BTW, this fish is in my frag tank. the only fishes in there are this clown and a bi color blenny

maybe the clown tried to host something with its mouth and got stung which developed into an infection?

mouth fungus?

Have you mounted any corals in the last few days? If so did you use Crazy glue or similar gel?

i do have a hammer in the tank, maybe it tried to host it

i think i did frag recently i use loctite crazy glue.but i usually put the fragged coral in a separate container with water before i put it in the tank so the glue have time to set

She reminds me of one of my x-gf's... She had the same problem... :argue:

Although, there were some benefits to that problem.. lol.. >:X

Hope she'll be alright.. Good luck..

Hmmm... could be choking on food... How big are the things you are feeding it.

My blenny choked one time for about 2 hours. Swam in front of the powerhead with his mouth open and wiggled a lot to get the food back out.

I'm with Chief. Looks like glue. Are you sure it was completely dry before you put the frag in? The glue should come off. Hopefully before the fish starves.

Hmm... didn't see the clear stuff. It does look like glue.. Can you just pull it off?

I wouldn't do that. It should fall off in a few days.
