Manny Tavan Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Was feeding LRS to my tank as usual. I just throw big chunks of it. Walk to the freezer to put the rest back. Turn around and I see my yellow tang sideways at the bottom of the tank. He was fine 5 seconds ago. He’s not breathing well and not moving. I reach into the tank and when I grab it - a puff of LRS chunks squirts out of his mouth. He’s moving now but looks dazed and barely swimming. At least he’s upright...10 seconds later he’s back to normal so who else has had to perform fish Heimlich maneuver before?

titus'reef Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Careful with those super expensive fish! all jokes aside though! He’s depressed his buddies are banned from crossing into the mainland, so he is suicidal. I’m glad he didn’t choke to death! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ceases to amaze me what certain fish will try and eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
