Lawnmower Blenny back from the dead

[Miah2bzy]

Came home after watching the game and found my lawnmower Blenny had carpet surfed and by all appearances looked dead - dry skin, rigid, unblinking, no gill movement. Went to pick it up and it moved. Put back in tank and moved him back and forth to get gills working again and 10 minutes later he's up and normal again.

I wonder if he saw the light? I had the same thing happen to a big koi of mine

Never seems unhappy and has own territory in the tank. Had for over 6 months now with no indicator of jumping behavior, usually I can tell. Going to be making a plastic top for my tank this week as this is the second fish to jump in the last year.
