URGENT - Another sick fish
getting stuck is VERY VERY stressful for a fish. once it is loose tho, they do
recover pretty fast as long as the water is clean. getting their slime coat back on after it is rubbed off is priority. the longer they were trapped, the longer time for cooties to get to the skin inside the slime coat and more damage. it is typical of spawning that fish get trapped by objects in the pond. they also can end up jumping INTO plants and may not be able to get back out of the pot easily.

I wonder if it had somehow become stuck back there and some of its damage had come about as a result of that. |
