Last night a loose suction cup fell off from my filter. My 12" arowana quickly grabbed and swallowed it before I could stop him and remove it. I tried putting Epsom salts into his mouth but he hasn't vomited it back out. I do not know what to do. I have seen him grow since a baby and now I feel helpless. Please help me out here.
Please help! My arowana swallowed suction cup of filter.

Take it to the vet is the best option. Other option is get some clove oil in a bucket and sedate the fish and remove with long forceps. Then place back into a bucket of tankwater to revive from the clove oil.
Seems like this happens fairly often as I am starting to see this subject almost weekly.
Ron has more experience that I do. On everything fish related. But on all these posts I don't think I have ever heard of a successful remedy other than waiting.
Yes I guess a fish vet could do something. A recent posters arowana finally coughed it up after about 3 days.
Take it all with a grain of salt. Just post'n what I'm see'n.
