time will tell how he does.

He is major stressed.
Turn off all your lights on the tank and in the room for 24 hours and do not approach the tank to see how he is doing

He will jump again unless you cover your tank

Well he is still in hiding and still has the heavy breathing. I did turn the day lights out and will just run the dusk/dawn (blue) lights for the rest of today.

We'll know tomorrow.

I would love to know how long he was out of the water for? 0-60 minutes....

He was dry on the outside when I put him back in.

He jumped once before and strange enough I caught him! Then this. My tank is a 55 with a Tec5 light over it, so it is an open top... don't know what the best option is for covering it up a bit?

Well this morning when I got up he was still in hiding.

This evening when I got home (30 min ago) he is out and swimming.

Swimming weird, but out and swimming.

Lets hope he can pull it off and there was no brain damage done while he was carpet surfing.
