C and I went today (ironically) to pick up the cover for H's goldfish bowl. When we came home we found one of his fish lying on the carpet. I picked it up to take it outside for a decent burial, when I thought I felt its tail muscles twitch. Just a tiny tap in the fingers. We put it in the water but apart from an eye movement and only one gasp of water it did not move. So I left it in the water to finish dying properly.
Its eating and swimming round now. That's quite some recovery. I really thought it was pretty much dead with only involuntary movements left.
Must have jumped out under its own steam, because the cat was outside while we were gone. Damn lucky thing we were home today...
