Think I just saved my False perc's life

My mated female had a large piece of shrimp in her mouth.
I thought she was just holding onto it to feed to the nem. Just seen her lethargic on the bottom and netted her.
Couldn't believe the size of the piece of shrimp caught in her mouth.::
I must have not cut it all small enough.
Pulled it out and set her free. She's breathing heavy but is swimming around now.
Hope she'll be ok. I've had her since I got in the hobby.

Michelle, that was crazy. I would have never thought that food would get stuck like that.
She's doing 100% better. Good thing I looked in there and seen her on the bottom.

That's pretty crazy. I know I've been worried at times seeing my clowns carrying around a chunk of food.

[stingythingy45]
