Sorry to hear that hopefully the Oscar regurgitate's the plant anchor.Just now, my Oscar Brick swallowed a plant weight. I tried to get him to spit it out but he wouldn't...it fell to the bottom and he grabbed it lightning fast before I could reach it.
What to do?!!
Its one of those metal strip pieces you bend. I was somewhat curled. I don't want to lose my Oscar!!!!
other then using clove oil to calm him and trying to see if you can see it and reach it..... I really don’t know what I’d do either:/
I am nervously optimistic. I saw a piece in his area that wasn't there. But I don't remember if its a piece that was just under some sand from before...going to check on him. He's been acting completely normal , swimming, chasing fish and showed appetite. I soaked a couple of pellets in olive oil which he sort of ate. I won't give him meal worms until I feel its safe.
Just got home from work and did another check. Not only is Brick okay, he's actually eating pellets again! Played with his basketball and seems completely normal. Was waiting for dinner at the front (along with the other characters). No bulges or anything. I'm starting to think that piece I found in his dig hole is the one he hucked up. Will still monitor, but good so far.
