:I am hoping to hear some suggestions on how to remove a stuck piece of food from my lionfishes mouth. I know the basics, about using a wet towel underneath the fish and also to restrain the fish with, and I also know how to remove the object, but what I DON'T know is how to keep from getting stung during the procedure.......not sure if the towel would be enough protection.....because of the position of the food, I think I will have to have the fish basically sitting on his belly to remove this.
:Man, I do NOT want to do this.......
:Any insights will be appreciated!
Does he still have this problem? If yes then all I can say is wear rubber gloves along with using the towel.
