My RedTail is eating Rocks

[tonymofo]

Should I be worried that my Redtail is swallowing all these Rocks?????

 

[Gr8KarmaSF]

YES...sorry but it will most likely die.

Is that what is in its belly right now? Rocks? Wow.

 

[jloos1988]

i think hes joking..??? maybe?? not?????

 

[Onion01]

holy moley!!! That doesn't look good. In no way mean to sound negative, but he probably won't make it.

You can try to put a large larket shrimp in their like you are hand feeding him and see if he will regurgitate the rocks to eat the shrimp.

 

[demetron]

cant you just pry his mouth open and get them out.?
...if he is going to die from it..

im sure ur fish isn't dumb enough to sit there and eat rocks.

 

[tonymofo]

No seriously, i feed him every two days shrimp, pellets, feeders. I checked him out this morning and I know I didn't feed him yesterday. Those are rocks in his stomach. That's going to suck he's going to die because he swallow some rocks. I hope he's alive when I get home from work, I think I can scare him enough to reguritate that rocks. Hope he'lll be okay though

I wouldnt try to scare the rocks out of him. It will only stress him out more. Fish have been known to eat rocks and then throw them up after awhile...

good luck!
