right..someone gave us their old fishtank full of tropical fish because they were too elderly to care for them anymore. However from the moment we got the tank, it was very old and grimy...so instead of trying to clean it and fix it. We have bought a new fish tank..but theres a problem, we were told to wait 1 week until we put the fish in, so we did, and today we put the fish in. However when we were cleaning out the old tank, another fish fell out of the filter and into the gutter. At 1st we assumed it was dead, until it started to flap about.i couldn't get my hand into the gutter beacuse my hand was too large. However my brother did mange to get into the gutter and pull put the fish...we got it out and put it staright into fliltered water, gave it some food then put it in the main tank...at 1st it was swimming upside down, now its stuk its head in a plant with little movement..what can i do to put the fish back in good health???? PLEASE HELP ME!!

I hate to say it but there is probably nothing more you can do but wait and see. If it looks like he is suffering and you would like to end it in a humane way, I heard that clove oil is the best option. Good luck, I hope he pulls through!!
Fish have got stuck in my filter also :(
but you have to just wait for a bit .. but chances are that he might not make it
Their is other fish in the sea just get another one
this same problem has happened to me.
You first need to quarentene him in another small tank or large plastic bottle or container and feed him and nurture him to risk the other fish getting diseased by his dead body. Now just let him swim alone from the others and he should come back and be healthy
this is what i did to my fish who got stuck in filter and he came back and is still alive.
hope it helps!
but if he is suffering please get rid of him in a humane way like by just instantly cutting his head off or somthing quick
