Pray that it passes.Sorry,swallowing stones usually means death.

how big is your aro? larger aros can easily pass small stones. is he behaving any differently? still eating?

My 24" Aro ate a pretty big stone (about 1/2" diameter)...I freaked out for a few days and sure enough I found it on the bottom of the tank one day. She has also eaten a whole fake plant...Although I have never seen it again, she continues to do extremely well. Eating stones does not always equal death. :22:

How big is your aro? do u know the size of the stone? Is it stuck somewhere in its mouth (that you can see?)

I've scared my fish (buy trying to or actually holding them) & they have spit out what was stuck - but it was just in their mouth.

Do u have gravel substrate or was this just a rock in the tank? maybe think about changing the substrate? Larger rocks/sand... (I changed from gravel to sand)


i hope it passes!!!
