EMERGENCY: NEED IMMEDIATE HELP - AROWANA ATE A BOTTLE CAP
- Thread starter aeri
- Start date
I've done corrective surgery on a panda urau; a few datnoids, two leichardti arowanas and two flag tails. It's always the same. Sedate operate n allow time for recovery; as for the people that want to pay a vet thousands of dollars; go for it, in the end it's all up to ur budget.
That being said, from a fisherman standpoint I think ur fish will b fine, I've caught pike with lure and hooks in their stomachs n they seemed to be just fine.

Anesthesia and surgery are pretty nerve-wrecking, and I'm not sure if there's anyone locally that does that...
Would it still rust given that there's minimal oxygen inside the aro?
I really hope he'll be okay. He was eating and swimming normally afterwards. He didn't eat yesterday, and today he ate although not as aggressive as usual. He is swimming perfectly fine though.
I'm thinking of moving him into a smaller tank with no tankmates so that it's easier for me to monitor him and change his water daily.

I seriously doubt that the stomach's acid will break down the steel bottle cap. Also, there was a hoax that said that Coke was like stomach acid and that if you put a steel nail in a container with the Coke, it will dissolve. Doesn't happen.
Do you mean just wait for the aro to throw it up? If it was something soft, I can wait for the fish to regurgitate it but a solid object with ridges I don't think so. Also, because of the ridges on the bottle cap, trying to use something to pull it out will tear up the insides. The only way that I will wait is that the aro doesn't seem bothered by the bottle cap otherwise I don't think the aro will survive. The original poster has already posted that his aro is starting to show signs that the bottle cap is bothering it.

Great news. After 11 days, I found the bottle cap in the pond late last night.
It was in the gourami's area so there might have even been a chance that the jardini threw it up a while ago, and the gourami took it and threw it up yesterday.
