Oh Sharon!
You’ve read me. You already know…
When I had my tropical fish store and branched out into selling marine fish, my favorite stock were my seahorses, but they were really difficult to keep alive. I just did not have a way to provide them their natural food.
They died.
Ever’ time one of them died, a piece of me died with them.
Great post.
Great image.
Cheers,
Lance
How sad to see them die…When I was a lite girl we lived next to a fish market on Siesta Key and they had a a tank just for seahorses and they didn’t mind me coming in and watching them all the time…O got so excited when they had babies! They kept theirs alive…they must have had their special food.
Then I got a pet octopus.
Fed him/her crawdads— he thought they were baby lobsters–he lived a long time.
Octopus are so smart
Tell me about it. I had several marine tanks in the front of my fish store. My octopus at night would climb out of his, go to my crustacean tanks, have a late night snack, and then go back to his tank.
Next day…
“Which one of you ate my ten-dollar exotic hermit crab?”
Octopus,
“Me no Alamo”
True story
Except for the conversation.
Octopuses don’t speak English.
And I don’t speak octopus.
Very amusing!
