My RedTail is eating Rocks

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
He's Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I got home I took out all the gravel and left it bare. I took some water out and when I replaced the water I just put a strong stream of water on him with the hose. I chased him around the tank with the water stream and he spit out a couple of rocks. He still had a big belly of rocks
I just got home a couple of hours ago and checked on him and he spit out the rest of the rocks. He's fine now, I'll post some pics later.

Thanks MFKer's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I read somewhere that this is common with RT

Good deal!
holy crap thats one lucky rtc u got there...those rocks look heavier than the rest of his body! but yeh they r pretty hardy fish, im not surprised he pulled thru. rule of thumb...dont put anything they can swallow in ure tank. we all learn from our mistakes :0
 
wonderful news...yikes he had me flabbergasted...
