My friend dropped my aquarium hood into my tank, electrocuted all of my fish..,They all lived but one was swimming upside down for three hours.

We had a light fall into our pond and everything got a bit of a jolt. They all lived except one comet, but i think he was just going to die anyway.

Thats crazy! Wouldn't the lightning electrocute all the fish in the pond though and not just go through one??
