He probably swallowed some sand or gravel. Hopefully, like RTCs, he can barf up the gravel without any harm.
It will pass. When mine was 20 inches he swallowed a 10 inch diameter silk lily pad decoration, puked it 3 days later. Now he is 27 inches . Really though try to get him off feeders asap,bloodworms, market shrimp,shelled, scallopes, tilapia fillet,smelt all good food and in your grocers freezer.
I agree on getting him off of feeders. They're no good for him. flyin lizard's suggestions on what to feed are great ones.
Also mine like, kensfish floating cichlid pellets and the big sinking pellets but they do crap up the filter quick if you feed the pellets often,the frozen stuff is much cleaner, I use the pellets for vitamin suppliment, just a few every couple days.
