Fishie Go down~

[3863]

Well, I sure hope i have a hearty fish...

Today, because some recent ornaments discolored his water, i went to change his water. I had him in the net, and was transfering him 6 inches to a container when he flipped out of the net, flopped on the counter, and junped to the floor.... he was still flopping, so i threw him back in some water...

Can fish survive 3.5 feet falls? I mean coudln't the get concussions or brain damage or something?

I am at a loss for what to do about this high jumper....

Oh no! I think we just had this happen a couple days ago here...What is he doing now? Is he swimming ok? Does he have any wounds? I would put some stress coat in first of all and if he has any abrasions a drop of BettaFix..keep his H2O clean and keep an eye on him ..and hope for the best!

if you dont have stress coat it would be a good idea to buy some
and keep the water clean; water changes, and turn up the heat to 80 degrees
