well i picked him up his skin was dry and went to throw him in the garbage when i felt something looked at him and he started moving his mouth, threw him back in the tank well after a hard recovery he is swimming around my tank again looking great, never herd of a fish living for 10 minutes on the ground haha!
Hard to believe a Mandarin Goby jumped out as they seem so slow when moving around the tank, maybe another fish scared it. when I had freshwater tanks I once found a pleco in some fake plants I had removed to be washed, it had been sitting on the counter in a pail for a 2-3 hours before I got to it to wash them, when I pickup up the pile of plants to rinse them out he popped into the sink flipping around I put him back in the tank and he swam away and never missed a beat amazing!
