You would not think that ECATs would be jumpers, but put them in a small container weather it be deep or shallow you will be asking for it. Always place some thing over your container. I use a ice chest if I have to remove mine from the tank for any reason.
You said that the fish throu up its food after it jumped and fell to the floor. Normaly if the fish is stressed enough or is injured it will up chuck. I would not sujest feeding for a day or two. If the fish is healthy it can manage a few days with out eating. And if there are any interal injuries you do not want to make them any worse. Just add some stress coat and mybe some melafix if needed.
Do you actully see any injuries to the fish? Any discoloration or large lumps? Is the fish swimming around ok? Some one else said ECats don't realy swim, but mine is rather active when he see you by the tank. Kinda like a dog is when you come home from work. As far as salt goes I never use it. I prefer to use stress coat.
I would not worrie to much if the fish looks ok and is acting normal. I have had other fish jump from larger tanks and be just fine. Please keep us posted. From one ECat lover to another.
