glad report
The smallest minnow is better! Yesterday late afternoon I was able to see down his throat- so the food blockage no longer there, but he was unable to close it. I did see him flex the jaw once, when he was trying to eat, and was still debating if attempting to assist him would do more harm than good (probably). Left it overnight to see. And this morning- he looks just fine. Eats fine, dashes around so quickly in fact it was hard to get a good look at him. Mouth looks a little red and is probably sore, but I think he's going to be okay!
