It breaks my heart to report that my porcupine Sean suddenly died today. I noticed him looking a little distressed this morning but I didn't think anything of it. This afternoon I was working on the tank and he I heard the water splash and he was having a little freak out, which he does sometimes if I spook him when he is sleeping.
This time he, floated down to the bottom, then started swimming again, then to the bottom, over and over.
This went on for about an hour until he eventually passed. I had him for 4 1/2 years and he was always the first one to swim up and smile at me when I walked in the room.
I'm glad he got to live in his new 210 gallon home I bought for him for 2 weeks. He seemed very happy.
This is one of those losses that makes me question if I want to do this anymore.
