Your message is hilarious you are totally freaking out like I did this morning with my rtg I saw him poking at the pebbles I had at the bottom of the tank and then my rtg started to swallow a giant one. I was watching and I freaked out thinking that the rtg would choke to death since he wasn't cheap when I got him. I took off from my couch rushed to the tank, opened the lid and B slapped my rtg in the face luckily he spat out the pebble. But I have no idea if he swallowed any other time when I wasn't home. The rtg gets fed everyday as well why the hell would he eat rocks that rub shoulders with his own shi*? Stupid aro I think he deserved that slap in the face. Someone here warned me about the stones and they were right. My tank is all cleaned out with just glass bottom now. I'm still worried if my rtg ate pebbles before this incident and before I cleared out the tank he seems fine right now swimming actively begging for his mealworms as usual. I guess that's a good sign that he's feeling well still. I guess just try to pay attention to your fishes personality and mood. If ur aro starts acting off mood and differntly then u know! Something is wrong. Good luck bud!
After you put so much money into them and raise them and feed them you get attached lol!! Stupid fish thought I was competing with her for the suction cup cause right when I went for it she swooped it up and gulped it.
