So Saturday morning I wake up and check on the frag tank it was about 7am everyone seemed fine. My Picasso pair were doing fine as both were in the tank. So I throw in a few pellets for them to start the day off. I go on to make breakfast for the kids and coffee for me and the wife. Time passes and it was about 10am, I am looking at my Frag Tank and notice the small male was missing. My first thought was well he's probably hiding. Then I started to look for him didn't see him anywhere in the tank. I was like dang it WTH...

So I looked in the over flow nothing, looked in the sump nothing. Then I said he couldn't have jumped, but them again everything jumps. So I started looking on the floor. Didn't see him anywhere I ran by my cat just to make sure she didn't grab him from the floor, but that probably would have been bad if she did....lol.

Anyhow I looked behind the tank and low and behold he is on the floor lifeless.. Not move and covered in Hair and Dust was almost dried up, I really don't know how long he was out the tank I was walking over to the toilet to flush him but notice he had a made a final grasp for air... I said he still alive so I quickly took him put him in the tank and started to clean off what whatever was on him.. I put him inside A fish holder and left him there. It took him about 2 Hrs to regain himself and was a little on the knocked out side but he was pulling throw. As of today he is fine and healthy and started to eat again yesterday. I got most of this on Video starting with him in the fish holder. Check it out...

Dang man ain't nobody got time for that! I'm glad he's doing well now, that would've been an expensive sacrifice to the carpet gods!
