Almost lost my aro.. it jumped out of the tank..

[giar]

So today when i was about leave the office, i was surprised to see my aro was not in the tank and found him on the floor. I dont know how long he was on the floor, but i managed to get him back to the water..

What treatment should i do to make him better?

This is the video a minute after i got him back to the tank

Will he be ok?

It doesn't seem like the Aro damaged anything internally . I think Aro will be fine.

What should i do for the mean time? Should i turn the lights off for several days? Is there anything i can do now? Im so panic damn it..


I dont know if its my lucky or bad day today..

You could dim the light for a day or two but most importantly is clamp or put weight on the lid.

Cover the top of your tank. Ideally with glass cover.

If you feel he is abit stress, you can consider to use some black water or ketapang leave

Do you have lids? If so add more weight on them.

I do have lids, but I didnt put any weight on top of it. So now i just did..

Now i dim the light, and will stop tanning him for a couple days till he becomes more stable..

He is still brearthing heavily, but already swim around.. so i guess he didnt hurt himself severly?..

 

[giar]

It seems he broke his anal fin.. should i trim it down?

 

[Dis]

I wouldn't stress him now. Keep the usual routine and clean water

Hopefully he is fine. Ina few months if the fin is broken maybe then you want to fix it. Goodluck
