mike_vr90 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Just went and looked in the goldy display and one of the bigger goldies not sure of the species has swallowed a Cory. Not even a small Cory either lol and got it stuck! Time for some fish surgery lol will post pics after I figure this out lol. I wonder whether the Cory swam in it's mouth?

Matmatmat Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I've dealt with this by, getting a shallow bowl of water from the tank Scissors Tweezers And a clean cloth Use cloth to hold fish do it doesn't slip Keep fish wet with the bowl, let it swim every now and then.. Cut the stuck fish up with scissors carefully, a piece at a time Remove fish bits with tweezers Cross fingers worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matmatmat Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I had a different fish stuck, and the barbs wouldn't let it come back out.. Glad you got a great result Happy fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
