    Default haha...my toilet clogged from my big goldfish

    hey guys not sure if this is in the right section but my goldfish died and i thought it was small enough to flush down the toilet. I guess I was wrong lol. My toilet is still flushing but water goes down really really slow. Anyone have advice on ways to fix this with household ingrediants? btw, i tried plunger and snake.

    Lol, I did the same thing when I flushed a discus that died when I first had them. Completely plugged my toilet. I had to use a bowl auger to get it running again. I don't know of any chemicals that would work.

    I once flushed a bag of purigen down my toilet by accident when I was pouring dirty water into the toilet from a bucket and I didn't know the bag of purigen was in there.

    It was VERY VERY difficult to get it out. I ended up having to take the toilet out and used a auger from the bottom of the toilet with little success. I ended up taking the tank off the bowl and shaking the bowl upside down like a mad man until it came back out lol. It was quite the experience
