he took a while to get off the bottom so i jus help him up in the water jet so he could get revived i should say and its abeen a few hours and hes swimming in one spot and he looks okay will he survive or no..

He should be fine. Put a lid on.

On the other hand, I waited forever for some Grammodes and the second day I got a pair, the female jumped ship on me. What a burn!

Hopefully he will make it. We have all lost a fish or two. For me including a JD, wolf fish, and a Tem. GL!
 
My oscar jumped ship on me about a month ago. My roomate found her next to her tank he got her back in asap. I about had a heart attack when I got the news. Shes my baby. There was a spike in Nitrates that stressed her out hard core. We have been through a lot so I was surprised. I was also surprised to fine the nitrate problem was not my fault. I use city water and there was a lot of nitrate in from the tap. So check your water perimeters and keep and eye one your guy also I would suggest weighting down the lid and give your fish a little more time in the dark if you can. Good luck I am sure you will do fine.
 
Ive had a red tail shark jump, actually 2 of them on 2 different occasions. I also had a pleco jump too, I found him and put him back in on time. He wasnt moving but still moist, he revived. I think your fish will be OK. As long as hes breathing and is wet he should recover. I would probably shut the lights off in the tank though, might help with keeping the stress down.

i had a siamese algae eater jump out and i didn't notice it for a few days until i slipped over it:WHOA: with no shoes on, nice and squidgy. when my bala sharks got ich they went mad:screwy: and jumped and jumped hitting the lid hard every time until they killed themselves. :cry:
