maybe if u scare him a bit he will spit it out...failing that there is really nothing u can do. unless u wana catch him out of the water and take it out with pliers. thats wat i had to do last time wen my RTC ate a pleco which stabbed his stomach
 
post pics if you can, but if it's trapped and not just half in his stomach it could be a problem. If it's just too big for him to swallow it all at once he may end up swallowing the rest of it after he digests the first half.
 
Good News! I've never had anything like this happen to me before, I'd be scared outta my mind. :nilly:
 
yea, i hear ya i was buggin for a little while, makes me wonder even more bout my jack dempsey tho......
