Question
It appears that our Coy fish has tried to eat a dead fish or not. It could have been alive. But anyway today is Sunday, on Friday after work we noticed a fish (not a feeder fish) stuck in our Coy's mouth. As the days have gone by the fish has not moved from the position we found it in. Today, Sunday, I noticed that the coy is not really moving alot. Should we remove the fish or let the fish continue to eat it.  

Answer
Dear April,
                Remove the fish from the Koi's mouth immediately. I had a similiar issue w/ my Koi last year. He had a rock stuck in his mouth. I had 2 remove the rock at once.
   thank you for contacting me.
                               Thank you,
