my aro swallowed a plastic piece

[vtnamezeboi]

so one of my arowana's decided to be stubborn and held this plastic tube that goes in my airhead in his mouth. i tried throwing food in so he would let go and eat the smelters i threw in. he started chewing on the tube and this black plastic piece came off and he swallowed it!!! should i be worried about this? he is still eating tho....the plastic piece is about small as a dime all around or even smaller actually....

This reminds me of a video of a members jardini (sorry I can't recall who's it was)that swims around with an air hose in his mouth like it's some sort of trophy... it just swims around with it's head up like look what I got... but never eats it... As far as the plastic piece... I'd say it depends on how large your aro is... best of luck either way!
