So this morning i went to look at my fish and he was sucked into the filter. I tought he was dead so i unplugged it and he swam away from it. His color is much more pale and he just sat there, but sometimes he swims around for a few seconds. His cheek on his left side popped. is he going to live? does he need to rest and then hell be fine? or what? its been 8 hours since he got out from the filter and his color improved a little but he still is just sitting there

i dont see and injuries, and hes really small. the filter got tilted on its side exposing the suction part.

He will probably be just fine given time. Sometimes the bubble will heal, though it would always be smaller and have a scar.

I'd be more worried about his body than his bubble. Are there any lesions? Is he really thin?
There has to be some reason this little guy got sucked into the filter-it's rare they do unless there's something wrong.

Bubble eyes are mutants. They will most probably have a short life. ALL of the bubble eyes I saw in the tank at the pet store where dead.

Usually pale coloration means stressed.
