I was soooooo Happy....and then....

So about two months ago I bought a dracula goby and shrimp pair. Well the shrimp didn't last long with my flame hawk (flame hawk has now been returned) and it seemed around that time that the dracula disappeared as well. I was quite bummed. Well, today while doing a thorough cleaning I found the dracula in the first sump chamber! I was soooo happy! I ran to get my net and in that split second when I got back, I couldn't find him again. I looked and looked, and after about 10 minutes or more it dawned on me that he may have jumped out. Looked on the floor, under the tank...there he was. I immediately put him in a breeder cage, but he doesn't look so hot. He's swimming, but appears to have no strength and possibly is injured. I don't know what to do...should I give him a few days? He is breathing and moving but I hate seeing anything suffer.

What would you do?

try feeding him some frozen?

Damn Dustin, now that's the epitome of irony.

GL, hope he recovers.

well, did Dr. Aculea survive?!?!

Unfortunately no. He hung on for about three hours.

I want to give a pair another try, just not sure if I will do the same pair. Thinking maybe Randall's goby this time. Any suggestions?
