thanks...

I havent tested the water in a while, but it should be perfect... weekly 50% water changes and its home to (2) 3" Peacock bass, (1) 4" Juruense, (1) 4" Bristlenose pleco and the hifin... the hifin is only about 4"... oh, all of them are in a 55g planted tank filtered by a cascade 1000.

Lesson learned- I think i would've died had it been the Juru that jumped out...

unfortunately we all learn these crappy lessons at some point in time. a few months ago i had one of my florida/spotted gar jump out of the tank in the middle of the night. i found the fish at 6 in the morning while getting around for work. after a few days of careful tank upkeep and adding salt the gar made a full recovery. just keep an eye on him and as stated above...keep that water pristine. that will be of the utmost importance.
goodluck to you and your fish.

Thats insane...

I had an oscar jump out of a QT tank and I tried to keep him alive, but he was too far gone... I kept him alive for a little while by putting a powerhead infront of him... By morning he was gone. The tank was actually a kiddie pool with wood boards around the edges, but he still managed to get over.

Glad your gar is okay. Is that the lucky fello in your avatar?
 
Some fish can survive for several hours as by the procedure that some previous poster happened a chance at guessing. I've seen bettas that have been out of the tank for close to 6-8 hours survive (I know, labyrinth fish... but the keyword is still fish). Keep an eye on him though, these tales have nasty ways of taking ironic twists. Just when you think you're out of the clear...
 
i once read an article in tfh on how theese peeps got asian aros thatw ere found when cops raided a shipment. any way one night an aro jumped and they found it on the ground. they then got 3 airstones and shoved the arow in there with his gills nxt to the airstones fer 10-15 mins and he came backf rom the dead

actually that is not the same fish...although i do still have him.

i'm guessing he was out of the water for a good 3 hours. virtually all of his slime coat was gone and all of his fins were wourn down to nubs.

any update on your fish? hope all is going well.
 
I think he's going to be okay... he looks a lot better than he did yesterday. Yes, the lids are on now.
 
thats good
