Yeah for sure, I don't have a frag tank setup anymore so anything I cut I just end up throwing out, come by and I'll set you up.

Fed the octopus a silverside last night, so he's eating now

I guess you're suppose to keep these guys occupied with toys of some sort, anyone got any ideas on what to use?

Very cool man! I would love you see a video of feeding time. I've heard they can open jars so maybe you can put food in a jar and watch him open it

If you find something to give Einstein you should video it to share.

Default Octopus Pictures








I had to crank up the iso on the camera to get these pics, too much light in the tank makes him hide almost instantly plus he's constantly moving. Anyways that's why the pics are grainy and some are still blurry. Never the less hope you enjoy! He's a very difficult subject to shoot.

Cool they are so neat to have...unfortunately they live very short lives.
