Holly COW

lol i had my gramma out of the water while i was gluing my Monti to the rock and didnt know till it flopped on the kitchen floor gasping for dont know how long it was but wasnt any more then a min or so, just picked it back up and tossed it in the tank lived to i moved and just couldnt take the moving.

 

OH my! He was so dry and he had some stuff stuck to him.. my air purifyer was blowing air right on him, he was like hard I thought there was no way... but he seems okay except his back fins are still just stuck.. :/ He is so pretty I was sad that he had "died" haha

 

Keep him in a small tupperware in the tank with a few holes. Flow is the enemy of a stressed fish, weakened he will be blown around and then sucked into a powerhead (hopefully not). Just helps him convalesce.

 

Hmm he seems to have found a spot thats very low movement, I created a pretty sweet little cave for him. He's just stayin in there, and I moved allll my hermits to the corner they are all munchin on diatoms and a dead snail, I dont know if I want to stress him out more by putting him in a tupperware he seems to be doin alright in his little cave I dont want to chase him down... man I feel bad for the lil guy.

 

Always put them back in water, you never know. When I was a kid, my friend had an oscar that jumped out of his tank. When we saw it on the floor, it looked like a piece of dried leather. He had to peel it off of the carpet. It was stuck down good. He tossed it in the tank, and it started swimming around. Carpet fuzz was on one side of the fish for a few days, but it recovered fine.

 

That is just crazy. im glad I put the little dude in some water. I hope he makes it thats for sure, he seems to be doing okay...

 

So I dunno where he is.. he disappeared within all the little caves in the rock work... should I find him or just wait it out...

 

Just leave him be. "Finding" him would only benefit you, not him.

 

Yea I just don't want the hermits to get to him...well I hope he makes it, I guess i'll know by morning.

 

Feed the hermits something else. Weren't they already eating a snail?
