Oscar stuck fish in mouth

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Glad to hear. I would of personally just let him eat the thing at that point. Ive been giving my oscars comets here and there, and i feed em medium comets, 4 each a week. They eat the comets head first, and then swim around with the tail hanging out of their mouth for 3-4 hours sometimes just chilling. They will get it down, its just them nawing and digesting it. Like a snake. They also bring it back up and swallow it again. But this is just what ive noticed in the last 3 months of oscar keeping
 
I would have left it, but then again I had a V. Lionfish die with a goldfish stuck in it's mouth. Glad you got it out, I couldn't think I would do the same with the large oscars I've had over the years they are strong and splash around like hell when taking them out of the tank. But like Letto said I would have left it. Good tho that it's been resolved.
