You put the fish back in the tank ASAP and then check the water for Ammonia and Nitrite and if there is any present do a major water change. Some fish will jump out if the water contains any Ammonia or Nitrite. Some species of fish are regular jumpers anyway, and all fish jump at times, so every tank needs to have a closely fitted lid/cover glass to prevent this happening. Every tank also needs a permanently running 'cycled' filter to biologically change Ammonia into Nitrate and make the water liveable for the fish. A 50% water change weekly is then used to reduce the Nitrate content.
