Its ok Ive done it, yeaay. I wrapped a cotton ear bud with cling film and gently pushed from back of the mouth to front. It forced the pebbles out and there were 4 . The fish seems a bit shaken and gasping like mad. Is there anything else I should do for him??

God, that scared the living hell out of me!

Bless him glad you got them out.
He will be stressed I would if I was choking, he will calm down just give him time.

Maybe worth looking into changing the substrate to smaller gravel/sand? I think the general advice is small gravel (ie pea gravel) is best?

Glad to hear he's doing ok though
