i’m scared that my tiger oscar has swallowed a rock

[_rhian.na]

hi i’m worried for my fish and idk what to do. a few days ago i noticed that his poop was green but we’ve only fed him food that should make his poop brown so i found that unusual. we also have decorative rocks in his tanks and some of them are yellow coloured. just this morning i saw that his poop was a lighter green, leaning more towards a dark yellow. is this more evidence that he has in fact swallowed one?

also he seems to have become more aggressive lately, banging the glass when me or my dad walks by. he opens his mouth really wide at us too.

please advise what i should do.

and ate it...

Is it possible to get a photo of the full tank? I think it is unlikely he ate those rocks, but it’s possible.

What tank size is he in? Do you know the water parameters? (GH, ph, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates)

yea for sure

he looks small, i dont think he would try to eat the rock
remove the rocks and the washing machine spiky ball thing and see how he is after a week or so
add some silk/soft cloth plants if you have any or even just a clean rag (NO CHEMICHALS WASH FIRST AND ALSO NO STRINGS HE MIGHT SWALLOW STRANDS )and that might get rid of some stress.
he looks healthy to me
