My octopus

nice. How big is your tank? I have an Octopus in the past but mine live for about 4 months only

possibly the best photo I have seen in a very long time

Tank is a 40 breeder. He's been in the family about a year now. Thanks Kat! Caronte is that your seahorse in your avatar?

ok, thats it. Im getting one.

Awesome!

very cool.

Awesome. I've never seen one alive outside of an aquarium... or sushi restaurant

Well this guy is in an aquarium.....

I had one for two years but everyday i was getting phones calls " your acto got out again". So i had to give him to a bigger tank , figured 300 gallons was still to small for it.

I don't think octos trying to escape means their aquarium is too small. They're just inquisitive and need a tight fitting lid. Was yours a cold water species? Warm water species don't live two years and don't get as big.
