Help: Jardini 15" swallowed a marble.

[detraque13]

I have a jardini about 15 inches that swallowed a rubber marble. Is there anyway or anything i can do for my jardini to spit it out?
Thanks... any help would greatly appreciated

Sounds like its there to stay. Maybe you will get lucky and it will come out as a pearl

You need to mix epson salt and pump it directly into your aro mouth or add epson salt in your tank. My friend aro was swallow a suction cup before and the doctor at vancouver aquarium told him this. It works on him so good luck.

how much salt i need to put on the tank? Thanks very much

anyway, should i stop feeding my aro or should i buy a feeder fish or something to induce vomiting?

I would go with 1tbsp for every 10gallon for and wait for 3 days see if its vomiting, if not do 50% water change increase it to 2tbsp. As for feeding I would stop or feed something that you can stuff epson salt in with. Aro can go on for weeks with no food as long as you keep the water change.
