Can A fish Choke!

[s.a. boy]

Hi
I have a friend how has a new tank. In the tank he has 4 Chromis (Blue - Green). Last night my friend was feeding him and he was eating fine then he noticed that the one chromis was lying @ the bottom of the tank! After 5min he took the fish out. He opened the fishs mouth and that there was a large Brine shrimp in his throat. Did the Fish choke ?

Yeah, I saved one little fish of mine, had to pull out some prawn from his mouth with a pair of tweezers.
