Dawn Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I was cleaning out the tank and changing a few things around (yet again!) yesterday. I put the pair of Jewels in a bucket then put it outside to keep warm, sat the bucket on a chair and forgot about it! Well, we nearly had fried fish for tea! Luckily a short while later I went outside to empty out another bucket and saw that the male had jumped out of the bucket (only about a quarter full) and was lying on the pavers gasping his life away! How on earth did he get the momentum up to jump that far from about 10cm of water? I dosed his tank with Antiseptic afterwards then today bought some Melafix and added that - so far he seems to be okay - he even let me try to rub the dirt off his side with my fingers without moving away - mind you he didn't have far to go because he was still in the bucket at that stage. He was probably still stunned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
