That's me. Since December 2019, Murphy has been my 'moment of zen.'
-
I prefer to think of Murphy as battling evil clams, IN ANOTHER DIMENSION! <cue Last Starfighter theme>

Murphy & what I think he said through mental telepathy
Reactor Axe Man replied to SandSea's topic in General Discussion
Thank you for those photos of Murphy. -
I have over 600 images of Murphy spanning the last 3 or so years, if there is any interest in a compilation of the life of of this wonderful beast.

Murphy has gone to his Fathers in Clamhalla. He fought to the end. This is the last healthy image I have of him, mere minutes from the end:

He's in his last hour for sure. I wish that death found him sooner than this. It is painful to watch him suffer.

@Cory Murphy had a seizure about 20 minutes ago where he cannot right himself, and I fear this is the end for him.

It's no secret that Murphy's best days are behind him. Cataracts, what looks like cancerous tumors on his chin, a general sluggishness, all point to a decline in our beloved puffer. All the same, he is the puffer kaiju that I have hitched my star to, and while I lament his decline in his elder years, I celebrate this magnificent cronchbeast for all he is and has done. Merry Christmas, Murphy! When it is at last your time, I know the Gates of Clamhalla will be open to you, and among your fathers you will not be diminished. I imagine that is Murphy's soundtrack:

Murphy gets a huge demonic snail for a tank mate. I swear I hear Latin chanting whenever it is visible.

It was at this moment he knew... He shouldn't have had that burrito... -

Oh this was just a practice puff. He was loafin' then puffed up, then expelled all the water and went right back to loafin' like the Fishloaf he is. -

Water Potato, the slowest of vegetables.

Today I was taught a Forbidden Truth. I now share it with you. A Fast Vegetable hunting for clams, ca 2023 (colorized).

Mbu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin' to f*** wit!

Elder: Young One, you are strong, and you think that you are ready, but you have not yet faced the Tower of Mbu. Disciple: The Tower of Mbu? Where might I find this tower? Elder: Not where. Whom.

Behold, a Majestic Flapwagon!

That's actually why the first photo I posted of Murphy in this thread has that blue-green tint - it's the stuff they squirted into the tank, which I presume is medication. -

From what I could gather in the last live stream, any infections (and nothing has actually been confirmed beyond possibly ICK) were probably opportunistic with a super stressed puffer whose water pH crashed to 6.4 for no readily apparent reason. Lacking any staff or Cory input what I've determined through observations is that a combination of water treatment, adding crushed coral, and what I guess to be some medication, they fixed the water issue and then have been medicating him daily since. -
After being sick since at least last Friday, Murphy bounced back to health today. You had people worried, Fishloaf! Thanks to the staff at Aquarium Co-Op!
-
The good news is that he does move around a bit. If he just stayed in one spot in the tank all weekend I would really be fearing for him. I just hope that he turns around and gets a nice clam or two real soon.
-
So it turns out that the Fishloaf isn't just tired, but actually sick. Hang in there, Murphy!
