I was doin some remodeling on the rim of the tank to hang something and I guess a small piece of plastic about the size of a mazouri pellet fell in. Anyway, I missed it and then later noticed Niko chewing on something, so I go over to look and there is a piece of the black plastic from the tank trim in his mouth. I turned aorund for a min to get some tweezers to see if I could pop it out gently and when I came back to the tank it was gone and Niko was swimming around lookin like usual. Now for all I know Niko may have sput it out and it got pulled in by the filter because I didnt see it floating around in the tank. For arguments sake though lets say Niko did swallow it, what are the chance of it impacting / killing him ? Nikos 3.5" at last weight check so I guess his "bum hole" is of a good size to pass it but I dont know.
I can say with some certainty this is the only time Niko has ever swallowed a foreign object as I keep a bare bottom tank but with it being the size of a mazouri pellet do you think Niko will be ok ?
