Clown just ate a dried piece of gel glue, is it dead?

I was just gluing some new frags to rock and when I put my fingers back into the tank to place the rock back in a tiny flake of glue came off and my fish came over and ate it. Now I am not sure if it spit it back out or not but the question is, is the fish a goner? Please tell me someone has experienced this before and their fish didn't kick the bucket. I like my clown lol.

 

i have had this happen (osc clowns). no probs that i have noticed.

 

Unless there was still some uncured glue in the center of the blob or something that could get out and glue it's mouth shut or something you're probably in the clear. I've heard of this happening quite a few times actually. Even when a fish got its' mouth glued shut I think that person pulled it out and managed to fix it for the fish hehe.

 

Alrighty thanks a lot! One more question I think one of my clowns wont really eat Mysis or Brine I mean the other eats it so fast while the one just eats little tiny itty bitty pieces and spits the others big pieces out. Now this is a new development....I think lol I can't be sure. Also he sometimes swims towards the gravel and looks like he is trying to scratch his side on the bottom every now and then. What could be wrong with Cid?

 

hate to be cruel.... good thing it was only a clown if it dies....

 

So any explanation for the going close to the gravel and like "trying to scratch" his side? Is this a sign of something wrong?

 

the scratching sounds like ich... i doubt it is anything to worry about, the glue shouldnt kill it and if its having a small thing of ich then it should be done in a day or two

 

Could be ich, but also sounds like it could just be normal clown behavior. My clowns are always rubbing against the sand trying to make their little cave larger. Clowns can be funny fish sometimes.

 

Superglue is nontoxic, I wouldnt worry.

 

Sometimes fish rub themselves against things when they have ich, because the ich makes their skin itch really bad. But it could also just be clown behavior - they do strange things! My clown likes to flick himself off of this one certain rock. Just a weirdo!
