Perch ate bichir-try to remove or hope for the best? (pic included)

Should we just let him go or try to remove the fish. I'm worried about the spines on the bichir. I'm also worried about the perch over eating. I just fed him a few pellets 15 minutes ago. Thanks in advance!

My girlfriend was already removing it when I went into the room. She got him to cough it back up.

Removing was the right choice. I assume the poly is dead?
My girlfriend would never do that, you are a lucky man!

I saw that Li said remove it so I was like YES SIR and I did it

He/she appears to be fine. Probably pissed at me for ruining its dinner

The perch looks fine, the bichir..........not so much.
