singularity's Journal: Octopus (Take 8: Final Entry)

Unfortunately I returned from a New Year's Eve party to find Pixel dead in the tank. The cause is obviously undetermined, and will remain so.

He had been acting a little strangely the last two weeks, completely abandoning his "home" cave and moving to a hole that I could not see. Feeding had become difficult as a result.

I am not sure what I will do with the tank now. I can attempt another octopus, or I could just keep the tank as a fish-only tank.

It is somewhat fitting that I first started thinking about a fish tank around New Year's last year. It is amazing to me still that in less than a year I went from knowing nothing about aquariums to having a well-run saltwater aquarium in under a year.

RIP Pixel

My deepest condolences for your loss. :-(

too bad

It was fun going down the path with you and pixel.

I'm sure you'll come up with something creative for the tank and your skills, having an octopus certainly wasn't something most people do.
