:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I hate the 6 lines..
I think it would prob. attack the oct.

I see I'm not the only one!!!! Your probably right. I wouldn't put it past those:sgrin: fish .

Hey Tobin I see the mystery wrasse turned up. Now what you have to do is bring over to my house so I could put it in my tank and hope we have a male and female:bunnies: :biggrin:.

The only kind of wrasses you should keep in the tank with your little octopussy are PSYCHOTIC six lines:eat: :biglaugh:

lmao... Aww your crazy..lol

I'm learning to hate these wrasse... I think I might get another one if I can't catch it and hopefully they can stress each other out..lol

Ack! That octopus needs a place to hide, he will be a lot less stressed. You can put a big piece of rock and some sand in there for him to build a den or something. Even an aluminum can would be nice for him to take a break.

Most likely a vulgaris, although the coloration indicates something closer to a bimac.

Octopus eat constantly in the wild since most only live about 2 yrs and can assimilate 80% of the mass they consume. That mystery is not too large of a prey item for it either. Ocs know they won't be able to finish it but are smart enough to know they can rip off as much as they need and leave the rest. If anyone wants to post a link to that video of the octopus in the shark display at that public aquarium again, now is the time lol.

 

[drperetz]

the vid is here...

 

[Bob 1000]

Yeah I saw that before nice....lol
People also say you should keep a top on the tank of an octopus...:biglaugh:

 

[Killerdrgn]

Damn that was nice stealth kill.

 

[Bob 1000]

Yeah I think domboski has a vid of his taking a crab... Mine only kills when I'm not looking but he's getting bolder he now comes out in the day...

 

[Domboski]

The kind with 8 legs....

Blue ring and he just gave me a shot of the poison...Getting out of the hobby if I live....lmao... Seriously I don't know

Octopus type: o. aculeatus. Thought I would help.

 

[Aqua Pro Builder]

Did I warn you about the six line when we met that night.:biglaugh:

 

[Bob 1000]

Yeah I hate this thing... But it seems like I'm stuck with it now..

 

[Bob 1000]

New pics...
Taking a piece of krill from my hand an running away to eat it on the back glass area... Notice the shape change to a pointy head while eating in the last shots

 

[Domboski]

Nice! Don't get bitten!

 

[clownlover]

Nice! Don't get bitten!

can all octopus bite? does it hurt?

 

[clownlover]

that oct. is still small. Considering...:tired:

We should have an ethics thread...rangehat

is it unethical to keep an octopus?

 

[Bob 1000]

I don't see why not... Of course it's ethical about as ethical as keeping other marine creatures in tanks like prison's... This octopus won't outgrow this tank and is well fed...

 

[jim63dt]

I saw that bill from reef fantasy had a couple of 8 legged friends last week.
made me want to start a new tank.

 

[Bob 1000]

Wait till this week...:Up_to_som:Up_to_som:Up_to_som:batangel:

 

[Domboski]

can all octopus bite? does it hurt?

Yes they all can bite and it doesn't tickle. Some species are more aggressive then others. I think it is generally believed that all Octopuses have a little toxin in their bite but most are harmless to humans (the most dangerous being the Blue Ring Octo; that one will kill you). But then again, Why take a chance?
