Firefish problem...

[mythrenody]

I went browsing at a LFS and found they had a Firefish Goby,When the woman was trying to get it the guy it jumped out,Put it back in the tank and a few seconds later he came to and was swimming fine,I may go back and pick it up Wednesday. Anyone think i should? Is he OK? He was healthy and was with a healty tank mate.

If he is doing good when you go back to the store, I don't see any reason you shouldn't get him. Just make sure you have a lid on your tank because you've already seen how they like to jump.

ASK TO SEE IF HES EATING, IF HE IS EATING THEN BUY HIM. ALSO IF HIS HEAD IS POINTING STRAIGHT UP OR DOWN AVOID HIM. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LID THAT COVERS THE WHOLE TANK BECAUSE THEY CAN JUMP OUT OF A TINY HOLE THEN YOULL FIND HIM DRIED UP ON THE FLOOR, ALSO THEY PERFER TO BE IN PAIRS BECAUSE THEY'RE SHY FISH :happyfish

Yeah, if you go back and he looks normal, ask the person to feed the fish and if he eats, then take him. If he does not eat, I would avoid getting him.
