Fish digestion?

My green terror had a guppie tail hanging out of it's mouth. One of my P's pulled it out and it's eyes where gone, plus some of the head... It wasnt in there for to long either..

When the Terror swallows the feeder, is the head physically in the terrors stomach?
Do fish have stomach acid? And if so, **** it works fast..!!

Most fish have what are called pharyngeal teeth--that is, the teeth that do most of the 'work' are actually located in the throat, before the stomach.
