my 12 inch midas jumped out today found him probly 20 minutes or so after pretty dried up got him in the tank was dead for 10 minutes but i refused to giveup on reviving him after 30 minutes of holding him upright with a airstone beneath his gills and slowly moving him back and forth he slowly came back to life hes swimming normally now but ocassionly sits at the bottom of the tank (upright) not sideways or anything he also has a cloudy eye from being on the carpet , it wasabout a 4 foot drop to the ground will he be okay? how do i help out his eye?
 
Great job!?

Leave his eyes. Least of your worries. They will most probably heal.
 
is it normal for him to be idk "just chillen" at the bottom after a jumpout?
 
yes the poor guy is really stressed,,,, he might not move much for a couple of days ....nice save and GOOD LUCK!!
 
He is stressed. Turn off the lights and leave him e.
 
well i came home and he had passed away:( very sad i had him for only acouple of days and he was going to be the main male in my breeding project.
 
i also didnt mention he is inreplacible as he didnt kill bit size fish the lfs had him in with 2 inch JD's and i had him in with a one inch pbass and a one inch jaguar
