HELP!!!! Bindi has swallowed stone and floating

My Axolotl swallowed a quite a large stone the other day. She seems fine, she swims around a lot, eats enough and she doesn't float. But when you look at her belly you can see quite clearly where the stone is, but I reckon if it keeps going, it might get stuck in her small intestine. I don't want her to die coz she means the world to me. Can anyone help me help her? Please?

as a juvenile, mine swallowed a large rock and it passed fine. With axos, I think it is generally a good idea to forego gravel in order to avoid this problem in the first place.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
