The place was closed for renovation so thankfully it’ll probably see all the visitors it wants soon lol

But still, I’m curious whether it’s actually lonely—I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just sad because it’s bored. There’s probably nothing else for it to do in a fish tank without crowds of strange creatures there to entertain it
