Help! My RTG jump out!

BigeyeFish · 01-11-2009, 11:13 PM

Tonite I was as usual feeding all my fishes with MPs and suddenly my 15" RTG jump out from 1.6m high tank to the floor and I managed to get it back to tank about 20secs by hand. It did not eat anything and has a scale drop behind the head. No other surface injury spotted but the fish is just swimming at the water surface and breathing quite heavily. I have been observing it for 2 hours and it is still swimming near the surface than normally it will dive down the 2.5ft tank and chase after my dorado and PBs.

I am quite worry about it and need urgent advice from any bro here what should I do now or tomorrow morning cos I will be going away on business trip for 2 days starting tomorrow.

TIA

It is normal after such dramatic jump. Do not stress up yourself.

Just make sure yout tank is covered properly and securely.
You may add more salt and full blast your airstone for the time being.

Do not worry so much.
