[Ocean Mang]

So, what live fish has he eaten?

 

[scottallert]

live fish, two chromies, but dosent eat the 3rd for some reason idk.

 

[ladybug5234]

I'm not interested in buying it, but it may help for people to know what kind of octopus it is.

 

[scottallert]

o, vulgaris, sorry should have mentioned.

 

[simpler]

you sure its vulgaris cuz those can get really big. Youd need a minimum tank of 120 gallons to keep it..
Does it have eyespots? and do you know where it is originally from?

 

[scottallert]

ok, it came from florida water, eye epots?

 

[str8clownr]

u caught it?

 

[ravedood]

so what kind of tank can this octo be put into?

 

[scottallert]

a tank with no inverts and unescapeable.

 

[ravedood]

are they reef safe? what kind of lighting do they need? what do they eat?

 

[scottallert]

there reeef safe but not invert safe, i feed him all kinds of foods, live shrimp forzen, sliversides, clams, snails, crabs, i have him with a bunch of zoas too.

 

[simpler]

yea ive kept A. Aculeatus in reefs before, and even with a few fast moving fish so they are definitely reef safe.
Tonmo.com is an amazing website to get info about keeping octopuses. I currently have an o. hummellincki and it is very interesting and fun to interact with him. They can be trained to eat thawed raw shrimp, and i also give mine a few live shrimps every now and then to watch him hunt.
If i had another tank i would be all over this, o vulgaris are not commonly sold, and make great pets if you have a large enough aquarium.

 

[scottallert]

yes, someday i will get another but i dont have time or money to take care of all 3 tanks.

 

[mguti025]

What size tank does it need?
