Mo it did make it. I am VERY surprised.... I woke up this morning to find one of my percs missing. I looked behind the tank and there it was dry. I immediatly placed it back into the water and thought the worst. Suddenly I see him gasp for air and then the gill plates start to move. I hold him by the tail and push him back and forth in the water, much like you would to revive a fish you just fought fishing. within about 10 minutes he was weakly swimming on his own, this evening he seems fine and even ate for me !
