Aquarium Advice Addict
So today after work I'm looking at my 46g taking head count which is easy because there's only 5 fish & I'm not seeing one of my CAE's. Not a big deal, they tend to hide but after a few hours he still hasn't made an appearance. I decide to check my decorations for a dead fish. I remove the items that a fish could hide in & still no CAE. As I take them out I look inside each one then set it on the table, I look through the entire aquarium for any sign of him dead or alive. Turn off the filter & check inside it still nothing. I go back to the deco's shake them & finally see something, he falls out onto the table & I see his gills are still moving, I put him back in the aquarium & he swims off. Do you think he'll make it? How long can a fish be out out of water? It was a good 5 minutes before I found him & got him back in the tank.
