hey hows it goin i ask for ur help my cuban jus ate my lil upside down cat fish and now its stuck in his mouth i just got him out an try to get it out with tweasers but i didnt want to hurt him to much wat can i do?
please any advice is greatly appreciated thank u!
 
youshould let him do his thing. Dont try to get it out it's too late. You pull it out, the cat's fins will hook and stab the inside of the cuban's mouth if it went in head first(most likely). Just let the cuban do his thing. It's too late. If he cant eat it, will chew and spit it out. You try to get it out, you will mess him up and that could cause more probems.
 
nar the problem is that the catfishes spine is stuck in his mouth hes shakin his head like crazy but cant get it out an now there blood pulsing out of his gills he needs help but i cant pull it out it'll tear his gills has anyone had this NEED HELP cant loose this guy!
 
I would take the fish out, wrap him in a soft towel.

Then open his mouth best you can. Take some cutters and trim the catfishes spines. Should be easy to remove after that.

You may injure the Cuban a little, but the inside of his mouth will heal in no time.

^^sounds like your best bet. Get yourself some pointier scissors if you have to.
