travisurfer Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 that is awesome ff. cant wait to see him settle in. at the end of the year, put a large mantis in the tank and see who wins. Link to comment
VannReefer87 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 man he's awesome, sucks they only last a year though...I agree with travis.....find some one with a Peacock with shell disease and have them go at it...they'll both be at the end of the line anyway Link to comment

Prowland Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 You should put that in your 10g contest tank! It would kill the other tanks! Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 yeah and in the process kill mine^ lol this thing would be SO cramped in a 10g. its unbeilivable. actually. he looks a TINY bit cramped in my tank (well not cramped.. but he could use some more room.. possibly a 55g.)..so he needs a bigger home.

Fishfreak218 Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 oh.. his "head" is about the size of and egg but from tip of head to tip of longest tenticle i would say a good 15" (he has VERY long tenticles) Link to comment
Wobach Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Theres a Giant octopus at my local aquarium. Apparently, they dont live very long and as they grow and get older they become alot more active. This one is huuugeee and scary lol. Link to comment
