Was doing a total clean up to set up my new canister filter. One of the alli jumped off the net and fell 2 feet down to the concrete floor. My bad for pulling the net too shallow. Sorta broke the fall halfway with my hand but couldn't catch it. Reddish spots on some scales but they're gone now and not acting weird.

Should I be on the lookout for internal injuries? It's 9 inch long now.
 
I wouldn't be too worried if there are no immediate signs of a broken back. I've had gars fall from greater heights without anything serious. Just keep an eye out and watch to make sure you don't get a bacterial infection.
