Hello !
So i made this mistake. I had a cory cat in my Jack dempsey tank and I read they were social so I bought him friends. Except my EBJD decided he would eat them. Problem was they didn't fit in his mouth. So he eats one and chokes on it for a day or two and managed to get it down. I figured I had like three days to get the rest out but I only had two days. So EBJD chokes down another one. I know I suck but seriously I didn't think he would be able to eat anything else. Now this one is stuck more like halfway in his mouth, its been longer and he can't seem to swallow it, probably because he has another whole cory cat in his gut already. So, this fish is sticking like halfway out and Mr. EBJD is looking seriously pouty, chilling on the bottom, and I'm nervous he's going to die. Should I pull him out and try to remove the Cory cat stuck halfway in his mouth? I figure I'd scoop him, put him on a towel and gently hold him, and tweezer the fish out of his mouth. Is this the worst idea ever? Should I just hope for the best? Here's a picture of the stupid guy.
Help me fish enthusiasts, you're my only hope
