My purlple-spot goby was dried up and stuck to the floor when I came home! I dropped him back in the tank and he started moving again after about ten minutes! Is there anything I can do to help his recovery? I really love this guy.. Any sugestions fellas!
Help!! My goby jumped out!

he's a goner to be honest
keep your water clean
i wouldnt add salt in this situation, unless you want a salted fish chip
but add some stresscoat.

He is moving around pretty good now and seems to be breathing normal! His left pectoral fin looks wasted, lots of missing scales also and he is swimming kind of weird. I added a little novaAqua no stress coat on hand.
Novaqua is as good as any other slime coat replacement in a case like this, all you can do is hope, and keep an eye on it for fungus or bacterial infections for a while. And close off the hole it out through.
Have not posted in a few days.. Little guy did not make it. He lived for three days then kicked the bucket. No fungus or bacteria problems. His swimming became more and more eratic. I will miss the little guy.
When he jumped out he was in a temporary tank because his 40g began to leak. So wish I had a lid on that one
