I have not had the lion that long. I got him this past September and he is now about 5-6" long. He has always acted normal and still is swimming around like normal with normal coloring. I just tried to feed him again--no luck. He did strike at the frozen clams, but his mouth barely opened. He tried a few times and then did the fish "yawn." He did the yawn two times. If he can open his mouth to yawn, why wouldn't he be able to open to eat?? If there was a broken jaw, would he be able to open it at all?
I do not feed him live food. I started giving him frozen food a few days after I brought him home. He usually eats every 2-3 days. Normally frozen krill--2 chunks, each about the size of a quarter. Also feed him frozen scallops and clams. Occasionally frozen pieces of shrimp.
I was trying to examine his throat. I don't really see any lump, but I never examined so close before, so not sure of what to compare it to. I will post a pic if that will help.
As far as water quality, last test was on Saturday right before he was fed and everything looked fine. Trates and Trites 0, ammonia 0, pH-7.4...I really appreiate your help! Thanks!
