their pretty hardy fish.
The one I have actually jumped out of its tank at eddys when they were trying to get him from the very top…landed on the cement floor. Picked him up, he was just floating upside down in the tank for about 30 seconds then started going ape shit. The guy said He would keep him there over night to make sure he was ok before I bought him, but I watched him for a few minutes and said I will take the risk…
Brought him home, few hours later he was eating Krill in his new tank.
I actually just moved from one apartment to the other a few weeks ago…I grabbed him with my hands, threw him in a cooler and threw him in the tank setup in the new apartment…few hours later he was eating like normal
