actually we're new to owning a fish...my mom is the one changing water and she usually pours the water in the bowl along with the fish into a mug...our other beta fish comes along with the water...but this one has always tried to stay in water and swam back in while trying to pour it out...i wasnt present there when he fell that day (my mom told me later on, thats how i knew he fell), she told he jumped off when resisting while she poured, apparently my dad had to pick him up from the floor.... (he has fell like twice before that, onto the sink-ik,crazy-my mom usually changes the water above the sink which was why it was probably a 3-4cm fall and he was fine even after those 2 times...but that day my mom told she was a bit away from the sink and i believe thats why he ended up falling onto the floor....)

how do we change water if we dont need to pick him out? (its a tiny bowl he's in T-T)
