Mouth Perpetually Slightly Oen

Do y'all know if this is normal: betta never quite closing mouth?





He eats and he yawns, so his mouth isn't stuck slightly open. Just wondering if it's a normal behavior (like people who have their mouths slightly parted when relaxed) or a symptom of something....

Thank you

 

Just a thought, he looks like a Koi betta (he's very pretty by the way) so could it be markings that make his mouth look like that?

Thank you! I think his markings help make it more pronounced... Thank you for your thoughts I guess if he were showing signs of poor health, but since he's not.. I think I've seen too many pictures of that tongue parasite!

 

Eek! You and me both! One of my Bettas does have his mouth open a lot and that's exactly what I think of when I see him swimming around like that
