Hey guys,
new to this forum. I have a flower horn fish that seems to be broken. He did a hard fun against the tank and after he hit head on with the glass, his tail half went limp. Pretty much his tail isn't moving at all, at times it looks like he's trying to move but to no use. Any of you guys have any suggestions? Is he as good as dead? I feel so bad for the thing, he's a foot long and such a beautiful fish. Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions.

Cheers

He may have damaged his spine. I'd probably give him another day or so and see if he's just in shock. If he still seems paralyzed after that, you may want to consider euthanazia.
