Ocho's Tankmate, Blondie!
Ocho the Octopus had one tankmate.....Blondie the Damsel. I always thought Blondie hung out a little too close to Ocho but the Octopus had no interest in Blondie whatsoever. Example: I'd feed Ocho a crab or shrimp and Blondie would get all up in there and try to steal tiny bits of meat. Ocho would just swat Blondie away with an arm. Any other creature I dropped in the tank met it's demise in seconds....but Ocho never attempted to hunt or attack this brave little Damsel. It seemed as though they really didn't mind each others company. Once Ocho finally died about a year later, sadly, Blondie didn't survive the mini cycle when I added liverock to convert the Octo tank to the reef that this tank is today. Blondie was the "sacrificial" fish that I used to start the cycle years ago on that Octopus tank....
