View Full Version : RIP Ahab joefish84 Jun 20th, 2006, 03:59pm well she died on sunday... :goodbye: i guess she lived a happy life to her full extent, being captured and only having 7 legs... laying eggs a month later only to watch her babies after they hatched get eaten alive by a cardnal fish and the rest sucked up by filtration... then a week and a half of happy play time... oh well she was a very interesting octopus from the start but i guess its time to look for another one:roll: sorseress Jun 20th, 2006, 04:58pm RIP Ahab.:angelpus: Nancy Jun 20th, 2006, 05:02pm RIP Ahab :angelpus: Sorry that she was with you for such a short time, but she did seem to enjoy her life in your tank. Nancy clownfish Jun 20th, 2006, 05:05pm to Bad :( RIP ahab bobwonderbuns Jun 20th, 2006, 05:52pm Oh I'm sooo sorry to hear about Ahab. Don't let it get you down -- maybe you can be a dad to another bouncing baby octo in the near future! We enjoyed all the pix and updates on Ahab. Thank you for sharing her with us! :grin: Cephkid Jun 20th, 2006, 07:24pm Rest...In...Peace...:cyclops: Seriously though, sorry for the loss... :goodbye: Ahab. monty Jun 20th, 2006, 08:10pm RIP Ahab. Any chance any of her progeny could still be hiding in the tank? joefish84 Jun 20th, 2006, 08:45pm dont know the babies were planktonic and i think they mostly got sucked up in the filtratioin or eaten by the cardnal which had a plump belly the next morning after the hatch... i havent seen any baby octos anywhere either and ive been looking pretty hard... oh well. ill keep my eyes open for a new octo though and if i get one and babies do appear ill just take them out and put them into other tanks aximbigfan Jun 20th, 2006, 09:23pm so sorry, although remeber how that one member, (i think jean but not sure) had a baby briarius but didnt know about it until crabs started disapering... chris Jean Jun 20th, 2006, 11:07pm so sorry, although remeber how that one member, (i think jean but not sure) had a baby briarius but didnt know about it until crabs started disapering... chris Not me! we don't get Bimacs or Briarius in NZ! RIP Ahab :angelpus: J cuttlegirl Jun 20th, 2006, 11:19pm Sorry for your loss... :sad: Nancy Jun 21st, 2006, 03:36am It was me - I had the baby briareus(I put 6 day-old hatchlings into my tank) and didn't know that one had survived until the crabs started disappearing - actually, first I saw the amphipods begin to disappear, then the crabs - but I never saw her until she was 4 months old! She came out in an angry red huff because my husband was scraping some algae off the glass. What a surprise!! So you never know - you can always hope that one survives.
