Hi i really need some help. I have a redtail shovelnose hybrid and the clip that holds the tubs on the tank for a fluval fx5 fell out and he swallowed it. how can i get him to throw it up? please help..
Hey Bpballer07, i had a similar problem with my RTC/shovelnose hybrid... the little bugger decided to swallow a huge shooter glass marble i had in my tank, he looked like he had a tumor for weeks!... after worrying about my fish for a full week i decided to do something about it, the way i got mine to throw up the marble is as follows, i went and bought 2 packs of night crawlers from Walmart, after touching my catfishes feelers with the worms he went nuts on them having not eaten in a week, the worms did what i expected and wriggled around in his stomach upsetting it and releasing their slime, after a day or two of doing this... Presto he threw up the marble... Hopefully this method can work with your filter piece and your catfish recovers. Best of Luck, hope i could help
good luck mate, i think them clips pop off far to easy... write a letter to fluval if something bad happens you might get some compensation!?
