So last night i do my standard water change in the 10 gallon. After cleaning the 10 gal i decide to fill up my sump in my 225 because i notice it was pretty low.
After finishing the tanks me and my girlfriend decided to go to bed and she turns off the lights and we are about to go up stairs. I stop for a second and hear a "crackling" sound comming from the kitchen. I hear the noise again as i get closer to my 10 gals in the kitchen and i can tell the noise is comming from behind the tank. For a second, i assume the sound is comming from the power surge and it possibly have gotten wet.
As i get closer i can see a little shadow flapping on the counter top. I immediately tell my girlfriend to put the light and and sure enough my biggest bahia is out of the tank flapping on the counter! I put him back in the tank and he immediately goes belly up!!! I gently grab it and place him over the bubbles for a few seconds and it recovers.
After about 15 minutes after i put him back in the tank, i decide to throw in some blood worms to see its reaction. Not long after the bloodworms was in the tank, it was pounding bloodworms with the rest of the crew.
I have no idea how long it was on the counter behind the tank. There is a small space behind the light hood and i think my mistake was filling the tank up back to much. Seeing him go belly up stopped my heart for a few seconds.
Just woke up and check on the tank and it seemed ok. Ill be monitoring extra closely and hope fully everything is ok. Man, it could have been a really sad christmas eve!!!
Here is the survivor....
