I am fairly new to this amazing site. Today I had a frightening experience. My goldfish, Beso, had a decorative stone stuck in his mouth! Apparently he had been doing what he always does, sampling the tank gravel. All I could see was a large black object stuck in his mouth. I grabbed Beso with one hand and, using a tweezers I was Finally able to grab the stone and remove it. There was No Way it would have dislodged without my help. Thankfully, Beso now seems ok. My big question, considering he (and the other goldfish) will continue "vacuuming" the bottom of the tank,
What medium is best?
-Gravel
-Sand
-Larger rock
???
Please advise, we may not be so lucky!
Beso is approx 7-8" long. The stone is a flat triangle, 1/4" thick and almost one inch long. The large end, over 1/2" was in, with the point of the stone left for me to grab. Terrifying!
Thank you for your time & advice!!
