How Long Can Killis Last Outside Water?

[techen]

I came home from work today, I had just bought 4 Killis last night. Two males and two females.
 
Upon turning the lights I found it odd that there was no killis in sight. Being I still had my 7 rummys and one catfish. I had a look around and yep, I had jumpers. I found one killi under my stand, Look like it had been under there for a good while and was far past being dead.
 
However, I found two more in buckets just outside my tank that were alive. I quickly threw them back into the tank and there sitting there at the bottom. Still alive with rapid breathing.
 
So my question is, What is the time frame for killis outside of water? Am not sure if these guys will make it or not but I still have 1Male and 1 female left, I found 1 dead male and am not entirely sure about the last female....

Not sure of a time frame but I would have done the same as you have done.

Killis are total escape artists though, so sorting out their escape route would be what I would worry about next.

Welp, I fixed a lid on or a somewhat of a lid for now till I get something sorted.

I had a flying fox once that literally DID fly... couldnt find it for days thought he was hiding, 2 days later found him BEHIND my tank, poor little guy but his job is his name after all...
 
I think with most fish youve got a few minutes before the fish suffers any long term damage and/or death =/
 
Thats why i wont have any "jumping" fish in my tank as its now open hood lol
