Bichir puking? HELP

[jlieskovan]

so my 11" ornate bichir has been acting normal and eating masavore pellets as it usually does. but yesterday i saw he had kind of a weird bulge in its stomach, maybe 2" from the head, now today he just puked up alot of food... could he have swallowed gravel? and is causing a blockage? whats do you think is going on? he is acting pretty normal now, but i really like this fish and don't wanna lose it.

im sure its a normal reaction to eating to much or to big of food for there tummy. If hes acting fine now i wouldnt worry to much about it. Just reduce the ammount of food being given, other than that should be ok.

If you have him with gravel you may want to consider removing it and using sand instead. Much safer.
