Backfromthedead Sailfin Blenny

[AJ_77]

Was mucking about in the new tank today, and saw my 3" sailfin blenny on the carpet against the baseboard. Wasn't totally dry, but fairly stiff and blank-looking (grey eyes, etc)...

Chucked him in a bucket of water from last night's moving, and then told him off - stupid fish, dying on me...

Kept looking at him in that big bucket all dead like that... then he twitched. Scooped him into a container, changed half new tank water, watched him... He started breathing, twitching some more, moving a bit... Kinda freaky, but he was coming back.

After half-hour or so of re-acclimating, I slid his carcasse back into the tank. He's lying behind a small rock just breathing for the last couple of hours. Part of the very fringe of his dorsal fin seems to have been lost, almost dissolved - yuck.

Odds for survival?? Anything I can do for him??

Thanks,
