Betta went for a walk!!

Right in the middle of my preparing to move him back to his tank after cleaning it he decided to launch himself onto the top of the table. Then he flipped and flopped - finally landing on the plastic divider I was hoping he'd land on and into the tank he went. He's very active and had something to eat, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed as the medications that I should be putting in haven't arrived yet and the local PS didn't have them.

you cant add medication because he jumped!! That minght kill him!! Just use some stress coat.

lucky he didnt land on the carpet.. when mine did they landed on the carpet and were covered in hair and crap.. at the place i worked tho, a swordtail jumped from the tank and landed on the ground 6 feet below, and somehow was still alive when i put it back in the tank ..

maybe just add some salt and leave it alone.. dont wanna stress it and cause a heart attack or anything
