Thank you. I have put her back in the main tank and lowered lights. She is lying on a rock where she floated when I moved her back. Not moving, still breathing
Uncle is right. Let her rest.
Hopefully she recovers. She didn't look malnourished.
I was just going to say, if she was eating pellets you might be able to soak those in selcon when she resumes eating.
I don't know if broadcasting selcon does anything.

I had one jump out of my DT, found it on the floor, was a bit dry, tossed her back into the DT, went to the bottom, stayed there 3 days, then, bang, back moving around.

Give her all the chance you can. If she’s motionless that’s not a bad thing, you’ll know if she doesn’t make it, she’ll drift uncontrolled.

Fingers crossed for her!
Thank you. The prolem is I can't see her now, she has drifted behind the rocks. So she may just die and I won't even know

No she was only hunting/eating pods
