Hello mfk. Today I moved my 210 gallon aquarium with my frontosa colony To our new house. I had one of my older frontosas get stuck behind my Styrofoam background. I had to break the insert to get him out and he was out of water for about 1-2 min . I got him to the new house and now he can't stay upright, or swim. I held him for a moment and his body feels very stiff. He has been breathing normally and can move his pectoral fins, but I'm wondering if I really need to put him out of his misery? :( is this what happens when a fish breaks its spine?

Ime a fish that cant hold themselves upright and starts to go stiff has very little chance of surviving. Its 100% up to you what you want to do but sorry in advance because it doesnt look good
