Hey guys, great site and awesome discussions, My 3" RTC recently ate a couple pebbles(3) off the bottem of my tank.. He managed to puke 1 of them out but still has 2 in there.. its been 3 days now and I'm kinda getting worried. Any advice or tricks i can do to make him upchuck the rest before he starves??
Wow get out of my head. I was just searching for this link for that reason. Lol. My 16inch red tail ate 2 large marble sized rocks when he inhaled a bunch of goldfish. It has also been 3 days and he still has 2 LARGE lumps in his belly. What can i feed him to enduse vomitting of the rocks?

What i thought were rocks in his stomach turns out to be the suction cups to the heater. He wont eat. Now do i enduse vomitting without having to noodle him out of the tank and going down his throat w my fingers?

i wouldent suggest that haha, i suggest fishing him out into another tank and trying the epson salt method, you can buy it at any local drugmart- but if his gills go red or he turns upside down at all take him out and revive immediately but it worked for my cat he puked up the 2 rocks in his belly. goodluck!

Red tail cat x Tiger shovel nose tank mate possibility?
I've got the cat all alone in a 125 with a fx5 on it and looking into a uv filter and a possible hang on back filter but I've recently found a motoro ray about 4-5 inches I've got PFS bottom and some rocks staggering around can I keep a ray with my hybrid? I've been feeding him feeder goldfish every now and than and also shrimp from Wally world. I've had him in the tank about 3 weeks and he ate all my other fish I want a little more to my tank!
