So I had taken my swordtail out and put him in a separate container temporarily so as to keep him from harassing my female platy while I wait to take her to a warehouse to be temporarily rehomed. I started to play some video games but was keeping an eye on him just to make sure he's doing fine. He was doing well, playing in the container, and exploring. So as I keep playing, something tells me to check upon him. I walk over to the container, and he is gone. Not hiding near the airstone, just gone. At this point, I began frantically searching to see where he was. I look to my left, and there he is, on the carpet looking as shriveled as a raisin. I thought he was dead but as I looked closer I could see he was slowly breathing so I picked him up and put him back in the container and then back in the tank. He's doing fine now, although he looked a bit traumatized and had his dorsal fin "retracted" is the best way I can put it. My days what an experience or am I just being really dramatic lol
