It's been back in the tank most of the day. Not a lot of swimming. Sometimes the current of the filter makes it kind of.. roll over onto it's side. It won't correct itself, either. Acting sickly. (Moping a better word?)
That was this morning. Now, it stays upright and moves about the tank occasionally. It stays on the bottom mostly, and it's having a hard time swimming upwards into the water. Some of it's fins are kind of frayed from the couch. Where I found it was quite a ways away from the tank. Two or three feet. (The tanks are up on a "table" where a closet from a lower level extends higher up than the floor.) It didn't fall the 8 feet, but it wormed it's way the other direction across the table and into the couch. Definitely a fighter.
The screen top fits perfectly, and I didn't have to rearrange things for the cords, either. I don't think it'll be making it out of the tank anytime soon.
All throughout today, it has been showing steadily rising signs of improvement.. Although slowly doing so.
Do you think it'll be all right? I already got really attached to it. I wouldn't cry if it passed on or anything, but I'd had to lose it so fast.
