I am new to this forum but need abit help off the people who have the know about ponds and fish. I was just doing my second feed today and noticed one of my smallest koi has something strange going on with its mouth, I never noticed this yesterday. I have had the fish out for a look and from what I can see there is no wounds or anything, am I being pedantic? Has anyone seen anything similar and what can I do to help?
Thanks for any help giving

Actually your fishes mouth does look a bit different to me. Looks like his upper lip extends out further than like in this photo below but I don't think it's a big deal.

Sometimes they can do damage or get bruise if the dart or play too hard and run into something. If so, it may heal by itself or fungus up in days. Just keep an eye on him...
