Yellow Tang Hit The Floor

[brackeeper75]

:thud: I was in the kitchen just a moment ago, and my yellow tang, jumped out of the tank and hit the floor. I put her back in the tank quickly. Has anyone had this happen? Do you think she will be ok?

Well I got up this morning and went to work, she looked fine before I left, I just got home and she still looks fine, ate like a pig. I think she is going to be ok!

My first tank I had a few years back back when i knew nothing lol I am just learning now. I Save a big ole oscar he was in a 10 gal tank I think it was you could not even see the fish and he took up most of the tank. i brought him home and put him in a nice 55 gallon had em for bout a year when I decided to get a pretty cichlid...she was a mean mean girl. she had some fry and that big ole oscar thought yum dinner ! well she ran him out of the tank. the shame of this story is I could not react in time before my dog timber ( timber wolf) though yum ocsar for dinner that broke my heart.that oscar had no fear of me i could reach into the tank to handle him by hand others had tried and the never got close.

I had a Blue Sided fairy wrasse jump from my 600 and hit the floor - he fell about 7 feet with no ill effects except some dust.
