    My Six Line Wrasse jumped into the back filter area of my 29g nano cube last night some time. The water was flowing over him but he was laying on the skimmer tray. He fought me getting him back into the tank, but now has gone into a cave and is hiding out. What are his chances of making it do you think? Should I be doing anything?
    Any advise would help.:cry:

    He should be fine just give him a couple of days to recover and everything should be back to normal.

    As long as water was flowing over him he should recover.

    I put a piece of stiff filter material between the lid and that back wall on my 24 Gal nano, so that my shrimp would stop climbing back there. I'm sure he will be fine.

    I have dug fish out of the sump, overflows before and they all made it. took them a little while to get over the near death experience but they are alright.

    i had this happen several times with my jbj 24g tank, at one point he disappeared for months till I found him again
    he'll probably be fine

    Should be fine. i did lose a fish from going through my overflow once though. Granted the fact that he did it like 5 times in a row probably had something to do with it... (My bro kept tossing him back into the dt for me not knowing it was stressing the thing out to no end; oh well...)

    My yellow watchman spent some time in the back of my AP24 when I first got him a year ago, and he is still around. The critters in these tanks sure are tough considering how delicate they are. Weird.
