Gar jumped...Please help

[Miks786]

Hey guys I just got home from work and found my spotted gar on the floor, I left a small gap open at the top of tank..Not sure how long he was out the water but he wasn’t completely dry

His still breathing but just lays there...What do I do?

I’d separate it and leave it alone. Reduce stress and wait.

As long as you have him separated you've done all that you can. Stressing out and trying to do different things for the fish is only going to stress it more then it already is, the best thing you can do for it atm is to sit back, relax, and wait it out. Only time will tell if it will recover or not.

Good to hear man, gars usually can live for some time being out of the water. I use to catch a bunch down in Florida. Good thing you found him when you did.
