Giant grouper swallows cellphone after other fish knocks it into tank

A man surnamed Chen went to work at a fish farm in Kaohsiung’s Yongan District. While there, his phone was knocked into a fish tank by a giant grouper jumping out of the water. Immediately after, it was swallowed by another fish in the tank. Now he could only hope that the fish would cough it up.
A man throws fish into a tank full of giant grouper, as they clamor over themselves to beat each other to the prize. Recently, a man at this very same farm took out his phone to capture the scene, only to have it swallowed whole by one of the fish.
Voice of Mr. Chen
Out of nowhere, a huge fish came out of the water, snapping at my hand and drawing blood as the phone went flying. You could see it sink to the bottom of the tank. Another fish came by, and you could see it appear to swallow the entire phone whole.
Lai Wen-hua
Farm CEO
Of course it’s outrageous. I looked away for all of three seconds. Afterward, I rushed to find the manager for help.
It only took a second for the fish to draw blood from Mr. Chen’s hand. After the manager heard about the incident, he brought over a flashlight to search for the phone in the tank.
Liu Pai-chun
Farm manager
I searched for it on the bottom of the tank, but couldn’t find it.
Voice of Mr. Chen
The more I think about it, the funnier I find it. Who would have thought my phone would end up in a fish’s stomach?
Giant grouper can grow up to a meter long and weigh over 80kg. In another tank with smaller grouper, one fish ate an entire action camera.
Lai Wen-hua
Farm CEO
But since the fish was smaller, the next day it didn’t have any more space in its stomach, so it coughed it up.
Giant grouper are the largest in the grouper family, and are often called the “king of the grouper.” Staff were instructed to regularly check the bottom of the tank to see if the phone ever made its way back out of the fish’s stomach.

2025-09-17
有一名陳先生前往高雄永安區一間養殖場工作，不過過程中，手機卻被一尾躍出水面的龍膽石斑打入水中，很快的又被另一尾龍膽石斑一口吞下肚，讓他看了覺得超級誇張，現在只能抱著一絲絲希望，看看這魚是不是可以把手機吐出來還給他。
將小魚依序丟進水裡，池子裡好幾隻龍膽石斑，爭先搶後浮上水面搶著吃。先前有一名男子來到這裡，拿起手機想要拍攝，不過整台手機卻被龍膽石斑，吞進肚子裡。

“突然之間，瞬間一個大頭就撞上來，手就流血手機就飛出去，飛出去的時候你就看到它往池底沉，就有一尾大魚游過來，你就看到它那個動作，應該就是把手機吞進它的魚肚子裡面去了。”
[[養殖場執行長 賴文華]]
“當然是傻眼啊，愣了差不多三秒鐘吧，後來我就趕快去找場長來救援。”
魚撞過來的那一瞬間，陳先生的手瞬間見血，場長得知消息後，帶著手電筒來到水池旁，東找找西看看，就是希望能在池底發現掉落的手機。

“看有沒有掉在池底啊，結果發現沒有。”

“後來愈想愈覺得好笑，從來沒有想過手機會跑到魚的肚子裡面去。”
龍膽石斑，長度大約一公尺，體重超過80公斤。另一池體型較小的龍虎斑，也曾經將整台運動相機吃進去。
[[養殖場執行長 賴文華]]
“但是隔天因為牠比較小隻嘛，牠的胃容量比較有限，所以隔天就吐出來了。”
龍膽石斑是石斑魚中的巨無霸，也常常被叫做石斑魚之王，現在 養殖場人員，不忘定時查看龍膽石斑池底狀態，要來看看這手機，到底有沒有被吐出來。
