Okay, my fish have done this before, but none that did survived long after. I have seen it in guppies and others, but this concerns me little baby boy betta, Spike.
He stretches his jaw as if to yawn the way a human does, but in slow motion with a lot of effort in it. In the guppies, their mouths stayed open (!!) and they looked like they had a fish verison of lockjaw. Those fish all died, so naturally I am worried about Spike.
Is yawning natural? If not, what causes it and can I treat/cure it?
Thanks
