Betta Jumped Out Of Tank!

Is my betta going to be okay? She jumped from a 10 gallon tank.

1. Tank is cycled
2. There are plants (silk) and hiding spots
3. I have IAL in my tank
4. My tank is divided, she has a female betta tank mate
5. Unfortunately, the lid I ordered haven't arrived yet. So I have a bare top
6. I have a filter and an air pump
7. She's very healthy


It looks like she lost her fin, but when she swims up, it reappears. Now, she stays on the bottom, almost as if she's lying down

How high did she fall and what did she land on?

From the tank to there


If ever someone asks: The black fish is in a temporary container, it will be sold later

That fall isn't too high, but still isn't good. She's just very stressed from the experience so you should make sure the water is clean to prevent infections if she has any open wounds. Indian Almond Leaves or Stressguard have therapeutic and antiseptic properties which can help her. Keeping the tank dark will also help reduce stress. Make sure the surroundings are quiet and don't disturb her much and she should bounce back soon.

As said above she's probably in shock. Make sure to keep the water extra clean and don't disturb her or her surroundings.

Thanks! She's healthy and well now

Good!! I would love to see her tank mate, since the problem has been resolved!! Bettas are know for their jumps, they need to jump in the wild, to catch insects! She is just probably following her natural instincts. I’m glad she’s better now!
