Sick Fish, My Fault.

[Joinerlavin]

Hi all, not been on for a while.

I was cleaning my fish tank the other day and was using a battery powered syphon and my curious guppy decided to go for a ride. He managed to get past the rotar which sucks the water up and get lodged in a pipe. I got him out quickly and he seemed abit shocked and dazed but was swimming ok, the next day I noticed him not swimming just sitting on the bottom. his tail fin looked damaged aswell, I have him into a quarantine tank (one of those plastic net boxes which goes into the same tank) and he is just sitting on the bottom of the net (ocasionaly swims about). What should I do, I put him in there so non of the other fish could stress him out why he recovers.
