Do octopii have ink like squid?

Hi everyone. I am flirting with the idea of getting an octopus, but really don't feel I know enough about them. Hmmm, before I go into this any further I would like to know if I could keep a bimac in a 30 high... or would it need a longer tank for more surface area...

Hi all! I have a 5" peacock mantis in a 10 gallon aquarium. I was wondering if anyone had ever tried keeping a seahorse in the same tank.... just a thought.

Hi everyone, I live on the Miss. gulf coast and can go out to the beach and pick snails and hermits out of the marshy areas. Is it ok to feed them to my mantis?

I recently got my mantis. Its a peacock.(FYI) Anyway, he sits in front of his shelter most of the day just staring..... into space? He looks bored. I was just wandering what other peoples mantis' did for "fun", or whatever....if anything. I'd like to know.

Update: Update: It came out on its own and has been clumsily rambling all over the aquarium in an apparent attempt to crawl up-right. I took some Caulerpa out of my reef tank and put it in the tank because I heard sometimes they will eat these plants. Has anyone else heard of this or am I...

Hi All, I have a 1 inch long gonodylactus who lost its arm in a tustle with another mantis a few days ago. At first it was having so much trouble keeping balance that I had to help it get close enough to its hide out for it to manage its way in. I can see it moving around in there a little bit...

How long is the period for a mantis between molts if it is a juvenile about an inch long? Thanx--- Mike

I recieved 2 mantis shrimp recently. Both are juveniles ( about an inch long). I had one in a 10 gal set-up, and the other in a 5 gal. I noticed the one in my 10 gal started "twitching" I couldnt figure out what was wrong w/ it, but when it started flipping around the tank I knew something had...

I got a healthy baby smasher, Im not sure what kind it is. It is redish in color and that is about as much as I can describe it ( due to the fact that I can briefly catch a glance of it only when it dashes out to take the piece of food that i left it at the entrance of its "lair"). It is about...
