Talk About Food Going Down The Wrong Way!

[Synirr]

I was feeding the juvies today when I noticed one of the females tilting to the side and swimming funny... that's when I saw that she had a bloodworm sticking out of her gill!!!
Poor thing, I couldn't help but snap a quick photo. The guppies were chasing her around a bit trying to grab the bloodworm, but I ended up having to net her and pull the thing out myself. She acts like her gills are a little sore (holding them out further than usual when she breathes), but I'm sure she'll be fine.

"How embarrassing!"

As a matter of fact, she ate it the second I put her back in the water

Now I hope you lectured them about gulping down their food like a good mommy!

that would've been freaky when you realised she had it stuck there, at first glance it would've looked like gore
