This happened to a firemouth (freshwater). He jumped out and fell 4ft onto the concrete floor, by the time he was found he was pretty dry, but back into the tank, and back to life. Amazing

anyone know how long a fish can survive out of water ?

Same thing happened to my Pixie Hawkfish, unfortuantly my cat found him before I did .

On my way out the door to work one morning I found my LMB totally crispy, not moving and covered in cat hair and lint on the tile - popped him back in the tank and by the time I got home he was good as new.....freakish.


My yellow wrasse also jumped out twice - once I found him right away....the second time, not so lucky I miss that fish!

I think some fish can last longer than others.

I had a turbo snail out of the tank for at least four days once. I know because I had the top off cleaning, then went away for a few days. When I got back I could see a trail down the outside of the tank and down behind the stand. Thought he was a gonner too, put him in a small cup with water and whola, good as new!

Well she didn't approve of the cats but I think it would of been a crispy hawkfish regardless of being chewed on by Munson. He was such a cool fish too .
