This may sound insensitive to some, but he will die within a few minutes if you just pull him out of the water, and place him in a proper recepticle. If you believe in "waste not, want not, you can always lay him on the ground until he dies, and then add him to your compost pile. This can take a long time if the fish lies still. There is thirty times more oxygen in air than in water and gills are very good at taking in oxygen. Unfortunately without being supported in water they will collapse so their surface area will be drastically reduced. How many people have found an apparently dead fish outside the pond only too have it revive when placed back in? -- Regards - Rodney Pont The from address exists but is mostly dumped, please send any emails to the address below e-mail ngpsm4 (at) infohitsystems (dot) ltd (dot) uk
