Default Surprise at how hardy tioman is!!!!

Really surprise at how strong this fish is. I got a 8inch tioman in my FGT. Normally the FGT will have a cover over it but I believe yesterday my daughter was feeding the fishes so she did not cover it properly leaving a slight gap. This morning I went to find that the tioman is missing from the FGT. Looked around the floor and found it about 2meter on the floor away from the FGT. At first I thought sure gone case as it was not moving. I took a net and when I tried to pick it up, to my surprise, it was still alive. Quickly put it back into the FGT and straight away it was swimming normally. I believe it had been out of the water for quite some time already as there was no water on the floor nearby and its body looked to be quite dry. Really surprise as how hardy these fish can be. I believe if it happen to other fishes, it will be a long gone case.

Told my daughter to be more careful next time and she still can reply me back saying "see if this never happen, u also dun know this fish can tahan without water for so long right? Really viomit blood after hearing that!!!!!!

For a moment i was thinking about the tioman island. Yes toman is hardy fish. I believe they can breath directly from atmosphere like climbing perch with labyrinth organ.

Yea, all channa can survive even without water for a few hours. This happen to me before, when I notice one channa is missing from my tank, went to check around my tank and saw it, thought it was dead as the body has totally dry up, pick it up. It suddenly move! Faster put back next min it swim like a fish can't do without water...

had the same experience with one of my butterfly betta.

came back from office around 6:30pm and found the fish on the floor, quite a distance away from the tank.

put it in the tank, fins are clamped but after over night, back to normal except for some damage to the fin.

that happened like 5 months ago and i still have it with me
