so, yesterday i got some tetras for my 230g, well, one of my geos decided it was going to try and eat one, and since last night he still has the tail hanging out of his mouth, like it hasn't moved. What is the safest way to remove it?

Ya i know, no bleeding from the gills, but his mouth is still stuck open with red sores in his mouth, but he should heal over that one.
Oh ya i would think so. But i am sure it does not feel good .Maybe he wont do that again!!!honda237;4073288; said:
don't count on it . . . my Oscar bought the farm because he ate one pictus cat, then spit it out . . . two weeks later he ate another, and died . . . because of the spines on the catfish I figured . . .
well here is an update, he is doing better, a lot better. his mouth went back to normal and he is more active and starting to swim. Thanks for all the help.
