Bocki Octopus

I've got blue moonlights on for night and he romes around and quickly hides again when the room lights come on. This one's life span is probably 6 more months.

Just pulled the little brat out of my filter this morning the gap he fit through to get there is only 2-3mm wide, just shows how amazing these creatures are. Also been sorting through all the shells I put in looking for more crabs.

How often are they supposed to be fed? And has anyone had luck switching from crabs to some kind of inexpensive shrimp or even silversides.....molly fry? Crabs just arent always available.

They are larger species are pretty easy to get going on frozen. Basically you have to win their trust. Once he no longer fears you then you can feed him shrimp on a stick or even by hand. You can check out my videos.

Finally if you need a good source for fiddlers let me know. Shipping is a little expensive but I've ordered several times and they've always come in alive.

I'd love to see some video's. Aren't fiddlers freshwater because I can get those here if they will live long enough for feeding.

No they are brackish / marine. Stupid pet stores put them in fresh water. They actually need access to land but can survive several weeks 100% submerged.
