Anthers jump recovery?

[Wills612]

I've had 6 Ignitus Anthias in qt for 3 weeks. They received a fomalin dip before going in qt, and also have been through 2 rounds of prazi. All were doing very well until I was doing a water change 2 days ago. One jumped as I was siphoning the bottom. He was out of the water for 10 seconds or so, and only fell 18". Since that occurred one anthias has been hovering along the bottom perimeter of the tank with little movement, not getting worse or better. It still response when i feed and seems to catch a bit food as it blows by. Im not positive that the fish in question is the same fish that jumped, but i feel its a safe assumption. I figured he would have recovered by now from the stress of jumping, or might he have injured himself internally?

Anyone experience, comments, tips?

I've had anthias jump and returned them to the tank if I was there. Sometimes one will be a bit weary but usually the psychological recovery time is short. If that's the fish that jumped, nothing you can do except wait.

But, if it's a different fish then again, wait and see in case it's a parasite of some sort.

Sorry, but in either case wait and see is all you can do.

Thanks for the responses. No improvement today, but not getting worse, and all other fish normal still. I do plan to extend the qt time for another few weeks now.

It might have just landed in the right way to do internal damage, especially if landing on a hard surface. Not much that you can do for that :/

My male blue throat trigger jumped once and i put him back. Now he's significantly dumber than the female. He is well though. Lol

Well were at 6 days since the anthias jumped and started hovering around. It's still acting the same. It will change spots every couple days and will flutter and spin around a few times when I feed. All the other fish in qt are acting normal. Is it time to pull the plug?
