Hey...
I was out today and I came home and to my horror I could not find my pike in my 80 gallon. I searched around for a minute and found him lying next to my tank on the ground. I thought he was dead, but decided to put him back into the water just to make sure. Amazingly, he started breathing.
I held onto him for awhile so he would not flip upside down.
Now that he has been back in the water for awhile he begins to correct himself when he goes upside-down. He can swim, but he swims in an odd way. He has settled at the bottom rightside-up and is breathing.
I put API stress coat into my tank.
What should I do? I don't want to be told that there is nothing I can do and that he will die because this fish means a lot to me and I would do anything to save it.
Before anyone says, I DID have glass coverings on the 80 gallon, my hypothesis is that he jumped through the crack where the two pieces of glass meet.
Thank you!
