Poly ate gravel

[archers]

Im kinda freaking out because my baby sen just ate a piece of gravel. I know I should have sand in the tank for him but I didn't. What should I do? I know this is bad, he is about 5 inches long and was eating cut shrimp off the bottom and I saw him eat it. What can I do to help him or will he just spit it up?

Mine has done this at least twice in the 8+ years I've owned him. I used to freak out too, but eventually he got rid of it on his own. I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye on him.

Depending on the size gravel it mite just pass it. Ether buy pooping it out or regurgitating it..

Gravel and rocks exist in nature.
Fish aren't dropping dead because rocks exist in nature.

ZOMG A ROCK!
