RD pwns JD
well, this is freakin weird. i looked at my red devil, 10", and he has my 3" jack dempsey in his mouth, dead. the red devil has some physical damage on his tail, which isnt the worst part
his mouth is severely uber mega ultra deformed, the top lip is distended and weird.
i CANNOT remove the carcass of the JD, its too far in. is there anything i can do?

Bummer, you would have to cut it up to get it out. Dorsal spines will make it difficult
As I get older I find myself thinking about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

If he ate it head first it might be okay just to leave it and let him finish swallowing it.

Thats not good.
I don't know how you can remove it, as I can not see the damage, but it would be hard.
Curse those red devils!
