  1. That's me. Since December 2019, Murphy has been my 'moment of zen.'
  2. I prefer to think of Murphy as battling evil clams, IN ANOTHER DIMENSION! <cue Last Starfighter theme>
  3. 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.
  4. 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:
  5. He's in his last hour for sure. I wish that death found him sooner than this. It is painful to watch him suffer.
  6. It's painful to watch, but I can't look away. He's fighting so hard against his affliction.
  7. @Cory Murphy had a seizure about 20 minutes ago where he cannot right himself, and I fear this is the end for him.
  8. 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:
  9. Also I like the little sign. Does this mean he's getting Halloween decorations this year?
  10. Murphy gets a huge demonic snail for a tank mate. I swear I hear Latin chanting whenever it is visible.
  11. It was at this moment he knew... He shouldn't have had that burrito...
  12. 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.
  13. Water Potato, the slowest of vegetables.
  14. Today I was taught a Forbidden Truth. I now share it with you. A Fast Vegetable hunting for clams, ca 2023 (colorized).
  15. Mbu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin' to f*** wit!
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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!
  20. 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.
  21. So it turns out that the Fishloaf isn't just tired, but actually sick. Hang in there, Murphy!
  22. Murphy seems to be having more Fishloaf Days than not of late. I'm a little worried for him.
