baby fish puked up from Pike

[Owain4]

Today i was fishing and caught a 2pound pike, when i puke him on the ice he
puked out 3 baby perch... two were dead and one was barely alive and breathing. He is swimming around now, but im wondering since he was in a stomach of the fish, is there anything i can do to maybe remove a bit of stomach acid or would just swimming eventually get it off. his fins are a bit rotted but he is doing fine so far

Sooo your raising a half-digested Perch that was yaked up by a Pike you caught ice fishing. Interesting. Definatly one of the better "where my fish came from" stories. Some aquarium salt will help with his healing and good water quality of course.

ha well only his tail fin shows sign of digestion.. his dorsal fin is fine and he has tons of colour. awesome will do, i just put a bit of aquarium salt in the bucket with them while they climatize

Wow, what a cool story! He is definitely a keeper!

Good luck with him and nice job saving a...well, not sure what to call it?

Aquarium salt will not help. Don't use it. There is a thread about how aquarium salt actually harms your fish. Only epsom salt should be used with freshwater fish and only when they are sick.
