Last night before bed I heard something in the other room make a noise, I figured it was a tree branch scrapping off the window or something. This morning I come out to feed the large tank and about 10 minutes after they start eating I hear the un-mistakable sound of a fish flapping around. I look under the stand to see a very dry (and dead looking) 7 inch long pleco. I have glass over the top but there is a small gap where the glass makes room for the output tube to the sump, and that's where he jumped.
Well I got him back into the water and held him near the water flow... soon enough he started to come back around... and now I'm just hoping for a full recovery.
What I find unbelievable is how long he was out of the water without dying! He must have been on the hardwood floor for at least 6-8 hours!
