Hello I am new to this only because I am very afraid for my Oscar, he is a little guy who decided to was going to try and eat one of my Corriadors he managed to catch him but now the corry is stuck in his throat, I can see the tail of the corry but I am not exactly sure what to do. It has been stuck in his throat for a day and a half now and I am beginning to think my Oscar is going to die. Please HELP!!!!
 
Whats holding him up is the pectoral spines and dorsal spines on the cory. If you can get a pair of scisors and cut the spines off at the base where they meet the body, then you should be able to remove those and then the rest of the cory. If you can't, its time to put the oscar down unless you want to try something else, but it could just prolong and worsen his condition.
