Hi. My brother's came home and found one of our feeder fish stuck to the filter tube. They turned off the filter and the fish was able to wiggle away.. but the fish may have been there for some time. It is now slightly bent out of shape and one of the fins is damaged. It is able to swim in spurts, and other times he rests. It's been like this for the past few hours. I'm worried the Optimus (the name of the fish) is doomed to die.. and it's suffering. But at the same time, my brothers have hope it will be able to recover. Has anyone experienced this and their fish was able to recover?

PS.. all three fish are in healthy condition.And Optimus is the runt of the group, about half the size of the others.
 
Is the injury to the spine.

Give him a few days.
To see if he able to maintain balance., As if not he just going to get exhausted.
