It hurt like hell last night but feels fine this morning.
I know tangs have the scalpel in front of their tail but I thought it was the fin that nailed me. He is doing fine too and the egg crate lid is back on the tank again.

Glad it is feeling better and tang is okay too.

Thanks Leah. He is a lucky little fish. He is the first jumper I have ever had.

Did your fish make it? Glad you are ok....along the back spine of the hippo, when they put their dorsal fin up there are spikes (more like needles). Freshwater perch have these as well and I have been poked.....and let me tell you....its like there is a poison as it hurts like hell for quite some time!!

I am thinking from personal experience that this might be what happened.
