    Ditto...:cry:

    But think in future about putting "jumped" fish in container of warm flowing water...They can actually live quit longer then you might assume. Will often appear much "deader" then they really are...

    Always worth a try...:-/

    Mine jumped out once about 6 months ago when I was doing a water change. My 2 year old noticed it while I was in the other room. All I heard was "Daddy, fishy on carpet"
    Threw it back in the tank and all was good. He hasn't jumped since.

    I've actually saved a few this way. This particular fish was beyond saving.
