i have 3 minnows and a small crayfish in a 10 gallon tank. I recently noticed at feeding time that one of my minnows has a mouth problem!!!! Its really wierd..... it looks like his jaw has been ripped off or something. Or maybe that his mouth is open all the time. I dont know.. Ive never seen it before!!!!! It looks like his mouth is all bloody... its really hard to explain! The minnow moves around a lot so it is difficult to see it well. As hard as it was, I took a few pictures of it. theres 2 front views and a sideview. Has anyone ever seen this before?

you think? the cray is only like 3-4 inches long. maybe.... and to think my cray couldnt give a claw about the minnows! btw, the minnow is acting normal and such... just has a missing jaw
