Reactor Axe Man Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 It's painful to watch, but I can't look away. He's fighting so hard against his affliction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo1414 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Poor baby! It's so strange... Cory mentioned he was going to die soon in the livestream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reactor Axe Man Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 He's in his last hour for sure. I wish that death found him sooner than this. It is painful to watch him suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted January 29 Administrators Share Posted January 29 It's unfortunately. He took a turn for the worse quick. We talked about moving him on Tuesday. I watched the video footage nothing seemed to trigger it. I did see him just hanging out at the back of the tank in the plants. People tapping on the tank to try and get him to be more active. I have disabled the camera from public view. A sad day indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reactor Axe Man Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 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: 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reactor Axe Man Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaperoot Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I've followed accounts on social media belonging to dogs and cats (like lil Bub, Grumpy cat, etc) before, but Murphy was the first fish I didn't own that I cared about. I would check in to the feed every few weeks out of curiousity, and look forward to seeing video updates. Sorry for your loss Cory, and the rest of the ACO staff who got to see and interact with him. He will be missed. I never had the privilege of seeing him in person, but I am grateful for all the footage that is available. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Very sorry to everyone at Aquarium Co-op for all of what you're currently going through with Murphy. I think everyone here knows that it's always been a goal to give that guy the best life and the best care around and I think the team was very successful with that. For those that have never heard it or watched it, I'll post the video with Cory talking about Hank here below. Losing a friend is never, ever easy, and that pain is just Love that you're feeling. Cherish the good times and all the wonderful moments. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_friends Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a very loved fish friend. Sometimes it seems like we have more time and then suddenly they're gone - it's hard even when you know it's coming soon. My thoughts are with Cory and the ACO family who are missing Murphy today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcticgypsy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Was very sad to hear the news today. He brought smiles to so many people. I'm sure he lived out his best life for sure. Couldn't have had a better keeper that's for sure. RIP our puffy friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I am so sorry. I've spent many an afternoon or evening popping in to watch Murphy on the cam because I had a rough day or just needed a little "Happy Thoughts" time. Watching him was peaceful and therapeutic. He will be so very missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Sorry to hear of Murphy's passing. He was a charmer, for sure. Not sure if he knew he was 'famous', but I am sure he knew he had people looking out for him and that he was loved. He was a great mascot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
