Hey "RED" lives!!!Ok, it just sounded like you were implying that it died of old age, the way I read it.
Messing around in my sump today. I opened the doors turned on the light and there he was perched on my powerhead I have in there looking at me lol.
How he got there I have no idea.
I have the stock weir for my overflow he had to go down the emergency pipe then in and around and up to where I have 2 socks, but I only had 1 sock this week on so he missed the sock closest and went in the hole with the sock missing thru the bottom inlet to the fuge with all my cheato.
It's a waterbox so he navigated quite a bit haha. But how he got thru the weir teeth I have no idea the slots are small.
So he lives big and fat from eating pods for the last couple days.
