what do i do about jack i dont want him to choke or nuthin...
 
i cant i dont want to uhurt him.. he is spazzing out big time like twitching and stuff im so csared!!!!
 
someone told me once to take a fish out on a wet paper towl and massage them but i forgot where to massage
 
Firstly, relax.
If you do take him out you don't want to be shaky.

Take a few deep breaths.
Wash your hands quickly.
Get a paper towel and wet it with tank water.
Do you have a net? Carefully dip him into the net. Lay him on his side on the net and put your index finger on his tail LIGHTLY to sort of hold him in place.
Use a tweezers to grab what's in his mouth and lightly pull. If there's any resistance you might have to try something else cuz it could be caught on something else in there...

Get him back into his tank quickly, even if it doesn't come out...
 
see he spit it out... but its just that... he isnt acting right!!! yea i have prime.. and some stuff for bettas (it smells odd though and makes the water yellow so i dont use it) i added a few more drops of prime... he is still all curly and slightly breathing, he is curled up on the bottom!
 
lemme find my camera again.... shizzmunkies my dad took it :( this is crap i cant believe this... rr im sry guys... he is uncurled now but still laying!
 
You will have to remove the betta from the tank to make sure he's got it all out, he could just be stressed to the ordeal, give him time to come round.
 
You could do it will help him calm down.
