I have a guppy with part of a leaf stuck in its mouth. I have aquarium grass with a couple of dead strands and I think that's what it is. Will she process it eventually or do I need to get it out somehow somehow?

Thanks!

Catch the fish and gently remove the obstruction

They will usually spit out any obstruction that is in their mouth. How long has it been like this?

I would try to catch it and very gently try to remove it. When you net it, it will most likely fall out.

Got it figured out. We caught it in a net and pulled it out. The grass was about an inch long!
