worse day ever last night

geez I think small tweezers were recommended in the other thread, not to jam a needle down it's throat!


You need to be careful, when taking them out of the tank and trying to extract something in their mouths.


What you should do now is pre-chop all of the food so that each piece is small enough, and teach your wife what is an appropriate amount to feed.


Best of luck to you and your fish, hope it pulls through.

IMO.. sticking a tiny needle.. compared to a larger set of tweezers was not a bad call. And then he even took the time to make a little hook on it.. just so the chances of him getting it out where better... Even though you had to end up pushing it in.. Robert I think you did the best in a bad situation.

Sorry buddy you had to experience that ... I think I'll have some good guidance (hope it doesn't happen) if ever I am put in a situation like that..

Hope you weren't to hard on the wife tho...
