Well I was feeding one of my clowns ate a rather large piece of mysis and seemed to choke (no kidding) he thrashed his body all over and ended up inverting is right fin I turned the power heads off and he got it flipped back and was breathing really hard after the whole issue and now as I am typing this he seems to be fine again. Has any one else ever had this happen?

When I was posting about the giant mysis I got (trying to figure out if that was normal), a few people did write about their fish choking - some to death - on large food.

I had a crappie choke on a huge minnow when I had a native tank set up a couple years ago. It was half sticking out of it's mouth for a while. Dead the next morning
