Only way I think I could get your attention. Anyway. I was feeding my fish some frozen cubes. And in one of them was a fairly large bone looking thing. My Female clown took it in and spit it out. Before I could get it out, she ate it gain. I netted her thinking I could use tweezers to pull it out of her mouth but she apparently swallowed it. She seems to be gasping now. What to do?

I would wait and see. Netting her probably freaked her out. That would be why she is gasping. If you couldn't see anything in her mouth, it's probably in her stomach.

She seems to be breathing normal now. Don't know if she spit it or swallowed. Hmm.. Sounds like someone I wish I knew. Back to the fish. She's in her normal sleeping spot so I'm assuming all is well, because I would think if she weren't, she'd be hiding or some other strange behavior. I'd hate to lose her since she and her mate were my first fish and are nearly three years old now. I got them when they were only a half inch long. Cute little guys. I don't freak that much when my dogs or kid are choking. I've seen chunks in this food before. I think I'm going to toss it and get some new food tomorrow.
