Damn, the Captain died suddenly today. Just sank to the bottom and stopped moving. He wasn't acting all that strangely before. Dad said he was about 7 years old, I read they can live up to 15 years old, who knows what happened. Things had been status quo pretty much since we got him last year, and the water conditions were ok when we tested it recently. The skipper and the other two little ones are still alive. Bummer, he was a cool fish. And heavy! In the pursuit of study in marine/aquatic biology, I've been around my fair share of dead fish, but still it was more than a little disturbing to dispose of his remains. He had a lot of character.
