Sometimes when I pass by the tank, I give the puffers a friendly tap on the glass, I dunno why, just out of habit, and it never seemed to bother them, and it was always a pretty light tap. I guess I did it particularly hard today, and I scared the CRAP out of one of my GSPs! He swam around faster than Ive ever seen, jumped, and attempted to bury himself in the sand, all within about half a second. But as he was burrowing, he froze. His eyes were listless, no breathing, no fin movement, nothing, just floating. I freaked out, thinking he had done a small puff and swallowed some air during the jump, and tried to 'burp' him as best I could remember from reading, and I think I may have gotten some out, because I did it towards the bottom and I saw some sand blow away on the first 5 or so attempts. I held him upright in my hand for a few seconds and he started to gain movement again, but he couldnt stay 100% upright or swim on his own very well for a few minutes, and now has regained most of his movement but is currently cowering behind a plant....
This was about 10 minutes ago, anything I should do? I feel absolutely HORRIBLE....
Now I know why they say not to tap on the glass
