My Orange Tailed Damsel choked to death on freeze dryed krill.It was having problems and I grabed it as it stuggled and removed a piece of krill stuck in its mouth. Too bad I could not do more.:sad:
 
That happened to a buddy of mines fish. Freeze dried and frozen krill should be left at the LFS's. They don't seem to do very well in fishes mouth's :(
I think his that died was a rabbitfish, he tried to pull the piece out and everything. It sucks for sure......
 
Fish was a pig . I think he ate too much and big piece ant it swelled up and killed him.
 
Wow, sorry for your loss. I've never heard of a fish choking to death before.

i experienced it for the first time yesterday. my yellow tang ate so much and started vommiting 4-5 mouthfuls of food out.
 
I had a lionfish gobble up a ~1" triangular rock after dropping it back into the tank by accident. He, fortunately, spit it back up by th enext morning and wasn't any worse for the wear. Crazy fishes.
 
i had a cichlid long time ago that choked to death
wierdest thing to witness, you see the fish just "gasping" and nothing happening
he was eating a pellet though, nothing too big or wierd
sorry for your loss
 
I've seen my yellow tang vomit several times too. The problem is that still didn't stop him from eating...
