I had an oscar jump out many years ago and he was stiff from being so dried out...put him back in and the gills started moving and he lived for many years after. I know there is a big difference between fresh and salty fish but there is hope.

Hope he pulls through, that's a great fish

I had a cichlid jump a while back, my wife did know what to do (???????WTF??????) so he was out for a good 45 minutes. when I got home he was a goner.. or so I thought, I scooped him up and tossed him in a hospital tank, today he is the dominant fish in the tank, and a very pretty one I might add.

Thanks guys..one of his sides looked pretty bad.. I'm assuming it was the side up exposed to the air, and his tail didn't appear to work, it was pretty clumped up. Your experiences give me hope!

I had a crusty wrasse on a cross brace, and he pulled through. He'll probably be fine.

Well I just has to do a midnight reef take apart to get his body out, of course he was in the exact middle very bottom of my zoa mountain. No energy to even try and put it back together.

I had an identical issue.

Dry Oscar. So dry he was stuck to the top of the stand.

I dripped water on him to remove him and gills moved.

His eye got damaged and was blind on one side but he lived. Crazy crap.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
