These problems always happen to me while im not at home. I was at a friends house and when i got home i saw a towel on the floor and my poli stiff and breathing slow. It will move a bit if i get it in a net but in the tank it plays dead. My brother said apparently the fish went crazy at some point and splashed some water.

Heres a video

the video is private. Without a vid or photos, I can guess that the poly flipped out and banged hard at the glass. That might of dazed it or in the worst case scenario, caused it break his back.
 
All you can really do is wait it out and hope that it's better by morning. When my endli jumped out, it just layed on the floor the entire day and the next morning it was doing fine.

Thank god I've yet to experience *knock on wood* this but hopefully he's just dazed, does he have any reaction to food?

I changed the settings you can see it now.


It direct react to food. Only the in net makes him actually swim

Don't bother him. i used to have 2 albino sens that were like this about 4 years ago. One morning they were breathing very vigorously. They did the same thing your endlli. They were upside down and I was certain they were going to die. Not sure what happened. I put them in a 10 gallon tank and was expecting to bury them after school.

When i came home in the afternoon finding them all fine and active. It seemed that they were back from the dead. Not sure if it's some captive bred symptom or if it's something else. They died after another 2 years. that's why I don't buy CB fish anymore.


Any updates?
 
Well i just got home and he seems.to be okay. Mine is a CB also so maybe its something to do with that. But for now hes okay

Nvm hes not fully normal. Hes half half right now. Before he was lying normally, now hes loopy and upside down. But hes more responsive at least.
