So today I put in a 2 headed frogspawn and it opened up right away. After doing some rock work I decided that it was time to close up the tank and turn everything back on. During that second my clown (mr wiggles) decided to check out the frogspawn (at the same time I was about to plug in the powerhead and filter). I saw him jolt up to the top of the tank bounce off the glass and dive into the sand face first (he was waist deep in the sand motionless for about 2 mins. I went to get a net to see if he was alive and he shot up and started flying around the tank. After a few more minutes, he hid behind a rock.
A few hours went by (I thought he was ok) and I walked past the tank and saw him floating in the current, then get stuck on the powerhead. I got him off the PH but I couldnt get him off the sand (he is in a edge). While I was trying to get him up, the shrimp was poking at him (the shrimp ripped off a piece of his left fin). I really started to get crazy so I went in and grabbed em.
I have him in a 5g bucket with half tank water and half fresh salt water. What should I do at this point? I'm not comfortable putting him back in the tank with the shrimp (I feel like hes going to kill him). How long before he recovers from this? Should I give it a few hours, a day, few days? Please any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
