I have about a 10 inch phantom redatil that has recently eaten 2 medium-large sized snails I put in there to get some of the algae out. It has been a day and a half and he seems to not be relieving himself. Is there anything I can do? Should I be worried?
 
Wait and see if the fish regurgitates it. Other option is get some long tongs and pull the fish out. Pull out the shells. Can sedate with clove oil.
