I recently transferred my Oscar to my 200g, this was about 2 days ago now and just before she got put in the water she flipped out and jumped out of my hands and straight onto the tiles.
Its about a 4ft drop and its a big fish already and hit the ground hard. I put her back in the tank as fast as possible and she was stunned for a few minutes, and i noticed stuff coming out from her gills, and she lay on the bottom for a while. Then she was fine again exploring the new tank with my other oscar so i thought she was fine.
A good while later, the other one was comfortable and cruising around the tank fine. but the one that fell just stayed on the bottom breathing harder than the other oscar and is not eating.
Ive had my oscars for 5 years already and im really worried about her.
They are a pair and we're going to spawn in their old tank and the one i dropped is the female and shes super gravid already, literally looks like she swallowed a golf ball this was already before the transfer.
I'm thinking she damaged her swim bladder from the fall cause she has attempted to move around but i can tell she sinks back to the ground. So i tried to give her deshelled peas but she isnt interested in eating.. So i attemped to put them down her mouth but she just spits them out and i didn't want to stress her more so i just left her be.. but now i don't know what to do..
Please someone help!!
