Guppy found on floor

[Lamie]

I opened up the lid to feed the fish and I wasn't watching the fish the whole time and when I turned and walked back to the tank I stood on the guppy, very gently though, and I put it back in the tank but it not swimming as well as it was before I think. It would have only been a few minutes maybe 4 mins because it could have jumped out just before I started feeding out as I was putting a plant into the gravel. Is it going to be alright?

I think he's alright. Maybe he just got a fright. I hope so

Fish usually recover from a floor encounter. We had a goldfish that used to jump out of the tank we ended up calling it " Suicide Fish " it could be completely dry, put it back in the tank and it was fine.

Floor encounters they can survive if they don't fall too far and don't land on their head. But if it was stepped on, it could have internal organ damage.

Monitor it and see how it goes. Hope for the best.

I had one of my Angels jump to the floor. from about 4.5 feet up. She was quickly put back in the tank and suffered a pop eye for 3 or 4 days but now is totally fine.
