Pacman swallows a Jaguar catfish

[Miguel]

Woke up to see one of my giant Pacmans with 2/3 of a Jaguar catfish in its mouth..
The fish was breathing heavily and could obviously not cope with the "fooditem".
I tried chasing the pacman around, to make it vomit the Jaguar, to no avail. Immediately realised the Jaguar must have been stuck inside the Pacman's throat with his locked pectoral fins

Took the Pacman out of the tank, into a styro box ,and proceeded with prying its mouth open.

The Jaguar was locked in place with his pectoral fins to the side and his upper fin in the upper part of the Pacmans throat.

I managed, very carefully, with my fingers inside the Pacman's mouth to "unlock " all three fins and out came the Jaguar catfish.

Alive

They are both alive. Will see how long it will take for any wound inside the Pacman's throat to heal and it starts eating again...

Jaguars are obviously ( my mistake in the first place ) in another tank...

Now you guys go and imagine the state my fingers are in

Thats crazy Miguel. I guess the Jaguar refused to be eaten. I got (2) Jaguars in my tank right now, theyre pretty cool. Good luck, I hope they both heal. (And your fingers/hand too)
