Bin Weed Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 About two weeks ago i noticed my true perc 'suckling' on the tentacles of the frogspawn that he hosts. I know... not an ordinary behavior. Well the next day his mouth started to swell and has continued to do so. He can't close it but he eats just fine. i did notice that he's been acting a little lethargic the past couple of days. it just looks bad, like the jaw is locked open! any advice sg is a little high but everything else in great working order.

Jacobnano Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 HAHAAHAH Ok sorry done now. If the clown is eating I would just wait it out. If it isn't back to normal in a month, or if it stops eating I would get worried. Link to comment
mg4015 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 very odd, never heard of this. hope all turns out well ps: he looks quite happy with that everlasting smile on his face Link to comment
Chaostheory Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I had a chromis that did that for a week, he lived on. Soon eaten by the eel I had that tripled in size. I was freaked out too. Link to comment
kthehun89 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 ive heard about clowns suckling on its host's tentacles. since the clown isnt all 100% immune from the coral's stings, its mouth suffers the consequence. alot of people also report freckles on their fish for the same reason...
