CRAP!!!!
Well found Heini curled up in the tank looking dead, fished him out but he was alive, but barely-- put him back in overnight, and he still looks dead, but his eyes are open, and barely breathing
Everything was going great, he didn't show any signs of issues, of egg laying behavior
Sunday I bought (3) fish from a lfs--that I've never gotten fish from before--brand new place
--put them in the tank sunday night-- but I had to travel for work monday morning-- on my way out the door I was looking in the tank before the lights were on, and the bluw tang looked to have ich-- so I couldnt' do anything about it until I got home last night (tuesday)
when I got home I found the octopus basically dead--wife says she fed the fish, and saw Heini out and about during the day monday, but not tuesday
I just sent an e-mail to the fish store, and asked if they treat thier fish for ich, they said yes its reef safe, and we keep it in all the water
Well I think I posioned the octo with copper-- during acclimation I dumped a huge bag of water in the tank when I ripped the bag
Now I'm wondering did I poison a 240 gallon tank full of rock with copper--for ever for keeping octopus!!
DAMN!!!
