[Zbrafish] Mouth deformation

[Anne Streit]

Hmm, I unfortunately could not open the movie, but from the description I assume it could also 
be one symptome of fish-TBC. I have seen z-fish with TBC that show open jaws. (Hope for you that itŽs not!!!). But then I think you would also have 
death fish from time to time and other malformations, ulcera and so on.. 

good luck!

> Yes, we see it from time to time.  I believe that it is indeed the lower jaw getting dislodged initially.  I think it is likely that there is some underlying genetic factor involved because when we do see these fish - and it isn't often - there will usually be a few fish in the same tank that develop this over time.
