Part-time Melancholy

Like wading through waist deep snow, life is a beautiful struggle.

It’s my 21st birthday, so naturally I did a huge water change on my 12 gallon. I’m loving how everything is growing in!

A tough fish question

I have a lovely male half-moon. He’s about 3 years old and has been through it. I got him from a coworker that got him from her sister. She didn’t know about dechlorinator when she got him and he lived the majority of his life in a filterless unheated 2 gallon tank. I had to treat him for fin rot and hole-in-the-head. Since I’ve had him he’s transformed, his colors are bright and he explores his tank. However it’s near impossible to get him to eat. I thought he was blind so I got him a feeding ring, but even when I put frozen brine shrimp or bloodworms in front of his face he can’t see them or just doesn’t try and eat them half the time. I can maybe get a bloodworm in him a couple times a week and sometimes he appears to be foraging for fallen pellets (I only use very small and crushed pellets). He’s very skinny and I don’t want him to be starving. I’m at an ethical conundrum. Is it humane to keep him when he’s hardly able to eat even though he’s active (not constantly but enough to not be considered lethargic)? I don’t want him to suffer. If anyone in the Portland area wanted to help a special needs betta I would be happy to have some help. I’d want someone experienced to take him. He’s a good boy.

Tom Pretty when I first brought him home and now, 5 weeks later. Found him a sad boy in a bowl on Craigslist. When I picked him up his bowl smelled like floral soap. It’s hard to see because he moves too much, but his fins have grown a bunch already! I’m quite fond of him.

Genus Tremoctopus

(Blanket Octopuses)

(not octopi octopuses is correct when referring to different species)

Blanket octopuses are a genus of pelagic (open water) octopuses that live in most tropical oceans. They get the name blanket due to the fact that the females have long webbing on their tentacles which looks like a blanket. These species exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism as the females are alot bigger than males and have the webbing, whereas males are a few centimeters long and have no webbing. This webbing is used as a defense mechanism, when a predator approaches the female she unveils her webbing making her look alot bigger. They also have the Badass property of being immune to the Portuguese man o war’s toxin and actually rip off their tentacles and use them for defensive purposes.
