So the past couple times I've tried to feed my little gal, she can't seem to swallow. It seems like the food is too tacky or sticky, something...? I noticed the inside of her mouth is really bright pink, I'm not sure if it's always been so red or not. I got her some silversides frozen minnows She seems to really really want them, I don't even have to make them move for her to 'sniff' them n attack them. She'll grab on to it and look like she's trying to swallow it, re adjusting her mouth n such, but then she also drags it back n forth on the floor looks like she's trying to push it in further and then drag it outta her mouth, but with her mouth clamped shut on it. She does this for a bit then drags it backwards and lets go of it. Circles around it, then bites it again n goes through the same process, or she'll raise her head n 'prance' around with it held high, then spit it out on the other side of the tank. ????She has been doing this more n more and with everything I've given her lately, Worms, Minnows n Pinkies. Is there something wrong? It looks like she's choking on everything.

Has anyone else seen this? Or know what may be causing it? Anything I can do to lubricate the food or? Any advice welcome!!
