Never seen him do this before. He started randomly coughing out fine, powdery crap with some white chunks. Could this be from a fish he ate? Didn't see him eat anything unusual, nor has there been anything floating. Other than that he seems to be acting perfectly fine. Any ideas?
Ace coughing up junk

A few years back I came home after feeding to see one of the prettiest lookin Falcatus I've ever owned pinned to the inlet tube. The fish was fine for many moons, ate like a hog, healthy, great color and now dead.
After pulling this 5" guy outta the tank I opened his mouth and 2 pregnant mollies had gotten stuck in his throat. Since then I've made sure the Cudas food is smaller in size. You might've just dodged the big bullet.

Yikes... Sorry to hear about your loss. I make sure his food (guppies for the most part) are small enough, otherwise they go in the breeder tank to make more. I'll definitely keep a closer eye on the size now that I heard this from you. Thanks for the reply.
Well, I do 50% water changes every week and the PH is right where it should be. There was some cloudy looking stuff coming out, but there were also some skin-like chunks. Really odd to see.
