octopus

[Rory2005]

hi bud planning a future project, but wondering if you are able to get hold of octopus at all?

 

[Rory2005]

steve?

Hope you have a good tight fitting lid and no escape holes
My local marine store in Norway have a mimic really cool.

don't have a tank at the moment, but if they can be bought in the uk, I would make a tank for one.

yes I know they tend to only like live crab and only live max of 2 years, more often 1. but want a different challenge that doesn't cost the earth with corals and loads of fish and cuc.

oh and yes they are master escape artists, its been known in public aquariums that they escape to another tank to eat livestock and return to there own tank. want to train one to open jars with crabs in.
