No Injuries, But Definately Freaky!

My camera isn't very good for this sort of thing, but during last night's feeding, Canaq's worm tried to make a break for it...

 

[memojo1979]

And, if you're not sure what you're seeing, it's trying to wriggle back out of Canaq's right-side gill
She tried swallowing several times, then finally managed to spit it back out, after about 5 minutes. I think it put her off a bit though, as she's the resident glutton in my house + she didn't want anything else to eat after that

Oooooooooh I've heard of this happening before but never seen a pic... bet it gave her quite the shock

I was going to just leave her to it, but after 5mins of obviously trying to sort it out + having no luck whatsoever, I went to hold the end of the worm with tweezers for her, but gave her such a fright before I got anywhere near her, she tore off for a couple of laps (well, actually, just 1/2 a lap, coz she's VERY lazy!) of the tank + it fell out anyway / got spit back out. It did put her off - only for that night though

I've just seen ZoeT94's thread too

Glad it only happened to mine with blood worms, that was freaky enough! Rather amusing though because as she was snapping them down, they were coming out of her slits so she was snapping them down again, rinse and repeat
