um I kinda searched, but didn't find much

my son tossed a minnow (caught in wild) into my tank.
well, my Oscar got him, but has a bit of the tail sticking out of his mouth.

will he eventually get this thing down, or do i need to do something about this?

well, he spit out what was left of the minnow

although, minnow may not be the right word.

it was actually a baby croaker

as long as the eaten fish has no spines that could get stuck in your O's throath, he;ll be fine.(like plecos or corydoras cats)
Mine ate a algae eater once, and swam around like this for half a day, until he spat out the undigested tail.

Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

lol, he seemed really proud, after outgrowing the algae eater and finally could devour him after some months.
HERE'S A vid and it looks like he's showing off to my plecos on his catch...
