I had two guppy’s that suffered and died from some light-brown cartilage-like substance stuck in their mouths. I thought they may have eaten a small nirite snail. I thought maybe they might get it down to consume it. But after the first guppy died I tried desperately to save the other one and tried using tweezers, then a tiny plier, then medical tweezers, but the substance was so slimy and hard-squishy that I couldn’t get it. I’m so distraught about it, that I don’t want to own another guppy, which is ashamed because I LOVE the way they swam around my tank. I ended up euthanizing the last one because it was making me sad to see her struggling to eat food and couldn’t, and I couldn’t save her. And afterwards I pulled out 2 of these cartilage-like pebbles from her mouth. What in the holy-hell could that have been?
