Hey guys my gulper catfish decided to eat a Datnoid almost 3 times his size and he is floating upside down now...

His still breathing and when i move the piece of wood he is floating on top of he starts swimming again but not for long...

Will he be fine please help?

Will the gulper vomit the fish back up? Im worried about that
 
Hard to say. Would wait it out and watch. To move or try and force it out may cause problems distress. Don’t think it'll be spit up either. Maybe viktor can help a bit more.

I didnt wana try force it out because the spikes on the datnoid might hurt it

Yes. Both fish likely will get injured.

Just leave it imo... It's what gulpers do... In the wild I wouldn't doubt that happens often and from what I've heard they can have a fish half way out of their mouth... Digest one half then eat the rest
