That sucks man. I had one of my aros eat a 3" clown knife. I had thought the clown was large enough... aparently not.rottbo said:
my clown knife has grown bigger than my aro now he is huge and fat hes almost 2" thick in his mid section and 20" or more
My Black Aro ate my 7" Pom Pom knife.....The only fish I have ever lost to choking was a Bichir....It was just a little guy, about 4", and he tried to eat a feeder that was too big for him....we found him dead the next morning with it sticking half way out of his mouth....poor little guy!

aro's have such huge mouth, its very unlikely they will choke on anything. If they do go after something too big, you should be able to notice it in distress and pull it out manually
One thing I have noticed tho, is an aro *can* get sick if it eats too much, and partially digested feeders or bugs sittin in the tank will make the water foul pretty fast.
