Dropping a Dat?

[selki]

just purchased a 8-9'' indo and the seller grabbed it with one hand and it slipped out onto the ground about a 4 ft drop..is this shortening its lifespan? It swims fine and everything but just curious...

mine is thin bar with cloudy eye, I accidentally dropped him 5ft high i'm about to transfer him in a hospital tank to treat the cloudy eye after 3 days he died, I think it added stress! so keep watching him for a week or two just to make sure!

IT is a hardy fish.

Well I dropped my 13" approximately 5' last Sunday when I was transferring it to a bin while I was setting up my 180. It seemed fine in the container and is now swimming like a Michael Phelps in its bigger home.
