Hope he pulls through, that's a great fish

I had a cichlid jump a while back, my wife did know what to do (???????WTF??????) so he was out for a good 45 minutes. when I got home he was a goner.. or so I thought, I scooped him up and tossed him in a hospital tank, today he is the dominant fish in the tank, and a very pretty one I might add.

Thanks guys..one of his sides looked pretty bad.. I'm assuming it was the side up exposed to the air, and his tail didn't appear to work, it was pretty clumped up. Your experiences give me hope!

I had a crusty wrasse on a cross brace, and he pulled through. He'll probably be fine.

Well I just has to do a midnight reef take apart to get his body out, of course he was in the exact middle very bottom of my zoa mountain. No energy to even try and put it back together.
