Feeder Goldfish With Lip Issue

[fishychick77]

i know he is only a feeder fish but hes a big size for one and recently two days ago i noticed his lip is kind of bent in or dis-attached a bit? hes acting fine but i removed him from the other fish just in case.. if anyone knows anything about it or could explain or help thanks

What exactly makes a feeder goldfish any different from a normal goldfish?

What conditions has the fish been kept in? What tank mates? Did it have the lip damage when you first got it?

Red =

I keep a "feeder fish" in a 100 litre tank with only a few snails as other tank mates.

he never had the lip issue before, he was in a 10 gal with a orange lobster (he behaves himself) lemon tetra, 2 tetras, balloon mollie and another goldfish. i moved him to a seprate tank for now

i think maybe possible that the goldfish could have ticked of or got too close to my little lobster and maybe had his lip pinched?

You are very likely correct about the lobster, that would also be my bet.
