Gourami Jumped Out Of Bucket

[coldcazzie]

During acclimation my pearl gourami jumped out of the bucket and flipped himself about a foot under the fishtank stand, right at the back. Went to check on the fish, noticed the gourami missing, looked around for him and discovered him flipping sligytly, and had to use my planty stick to drag him out and put him in a bowl. He's now in one of those floating breeding traps in the tank, and looks fairly happy but I don't trust him not to deteriorate. Is there anything I can do other than maybe daily water changes for a few days and keep an eye?

if you have a spare tank i would put the gourami in there and keep a close eye on it for a few weeks. if not then water changes is all you can do unless there are obvious signs of deterioration or illness etc.

fingers crossed for him
