Hey guys
I just picked up a diamond goby at my local fish store today. Added him to the tank after drip acclimation around 5pm it is now 8:30 pm. During this process after dropping him I grabbed him by net.. while transferring him from bucket to DT he jumped out of the net as soon as he hit the water right onto the hardwood floor…. I picked him up and put him right in. Since being in there he is barely moving and seems stiff like.. he is not sitting the sand. When I first put him in there he was breathing really heavy now his breathing has slow down and seems normal I am not sure if maybe he is injured or if the fall may have damage him to much. I did try feeding the tank and he didn’t chase anything. So I used a turkey bastor and went close to him and he ate what went next to his mouth without moving.. any tips or insight would be appreciated !!
thank you in advance
