My fish jumped out of his tank

sooo... I hav a flowerhorn (Tony) and my friend put his finger above the water and Tony latched on and he jerked back, Tony came with him and he fell maybe 3 feet to the hard wood floor. he was out for maybe 5 seconds he is swimming but also really hiding. there is no awkward swimming though. should I give him something for stress?

 

Lol hope your friend don’t do that again. Only time will tell how he’s going to be. Probably stressed from his flying trip.

 

Whoops ! Post it note on the tank “ this killer fish will bite “ !

Turn the lights off and let his little heart calm down from his adventure. Check him tomorrow for signs of torn fins , slime coat damage etc. if he has any signs up your water changes for a while and he should heal just fine if no major damage was caused. Some fish are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. Thank the lord it wasn’t a prized tetra

 

Those little devils are hardy so I'm sure he'll be fine, you could add some bottled slime coat to the aquarium just in case.

 

Thank you all!!! I was really worries

Black sheep I will defiantly do that!!

ssinitt, he has done that before but apparently Tony lacubed on! I wasn’t even there when it happened! it was my Either a friend and mine
