Teamsherman Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Gday Ryan, I think if there is no evidence of physical damage, the fish might just be a bit dazed and confused with the whole drama its been through. My suggestion is to just let it be, fix up the rock so it doesnt happen again and keep an eye on him for a day or 2, i think he will be fine once he gets over his ordeal. Cheers, Alan.

slotha Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yeah i agree with Alan. Probaly just abit dazed. Does it look like he has any damage to his body? Fingers crossed he has no internal injuries. I to had an Oscar that swam in circles for a few days. Unforunately he died, but i believe his death was from old age (about 8yrs old). Oh how i miss my precious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.d.m Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 i had a koi carp that jumped out the pond , my wife found it on the lawn obviously dead- she threw it in the wheelie bin! a couple of hours later i came home to the bad news, but ever the optomist got the poor creature out of the bin brushed off the potatoe peelings and popped him back in the pond , where he still swims today 2 years later but yes he did act strange for a while!!
