Red Capped Oranda - Food Stuck

[cmock]

My oranda appears to have a fish flake stuck in his mouth! What can I do to help him?

 

[WILDER]

Try and pick him up in the tank as sometimes the fright makes them release it.
If not you will have to get and sterlise a pair of tweezers and sterlise them, wrap the fish in a cloth soaked in tank water and remove the flake.
But to be honest he should be able to get rid of it himself, good luck.

Thank you, Wilder. He just spit it out. He'd been chewing on it for around 20 minutes! I usually break the flakes up first, but that one must have gotten away from me. I'll be more careful in the future!
I'll copy your reply in case I need it again!

Glad he's ok.
