Last night I was tinkering with my skimmer after lights out and I must’ve startled my Tomini Tang because he took a flying LEAP out of my tank - I don’t mean he causally hoisted himself over the side I mean he took flight. It was so fast that all I heard was a splash and then wild flapping ;Nailbiting. He landed on a stack of books before flopping off in the floor BEHIND THE TANK.
I was able to grab a tank towel and gently scoop him up and return him to the tank. He did quite a bit of flapping between the wall and the tank but he was only out of water maybe 35-45 seconds. I know the impact is what injures/kills a lot of fish, what should I be watching for??
Last night he was hovering sideways just above the tank bottom which is sometimes how he sleeps. This morning I couldn’t find him before work (lights still out). He’s always out when I get home because it’s feeding time.
Do some fish make it okay after an impact fall like that? Should I put him in a QT tank to monitor or leave him in the DT??
