stress coat does wonders

[CichlidLady0312]

Came home to find my blue zebra whos holding out of her breeder box w lid still on idk how thats possible laying on the floor. Picked her up I thought she was a goner then she started to breathe so I put her back in box w lid secured and added stress coat. Shes doing a lot better and is regainging her color back. Im relieve although a bit bummed not sure if shes still holding because of her accident anymore. Im going to leave her alone for a day or so.

She must have been out for only a minute or so. She most likely is not holding anymore though.

I'm glad to hear your fish is ok, but IMO it is important to remember that correlation does not equal causation. I've had several fish survive a tank jump without using any "slime coat additives".

Agree, just being out back in the water did more than the stress coat

When I put her back in her box she was floating on her side then I added the coat. And she began to swim back to normal. Still think it was the coat that helped

Havent noticed any eggs anywhere. Would she swallow them instead?

She very easily could have swallowed them.
