Arowana seems to be holding food in Mouth > 1 day

[Squid]

Anybody experienced this? I fed my arowana yesterday with fish.
today i noticed he seems to be holding something inside his mouth and chewing on it too? I think its still the fish i fed him yesterday.
any advise? should i try to put him to sleep and try to take the fish out?
anybody experienced this before?

Is he behaving naturally or struggling to get the food out from his mouth?

I have a few adults who will always hold food in their mouth too.

would it be possible that the aro is "practising" holding eggs in its mouth?

not really struggling, its like he is chewing, or like holding eggs.
this is a 9 year old male gold aro
wish my reds would hold eggs like him holding his food...
fortunately i don't have female goldie to try with him

if my aro hold food for more than 10 mins i will take my net and disturb him near the head area until he spit it out.
