Thanks, Sony XperiaS1. It's waterproof with a 20mp camera

Very cool captive you have there Woogie. Have you been able to get your inklet to feed on other foods yet?

 

[Woogiekids]

He eats live crabs and has started taking frozen fish. On a side note....he stole my tongs!

 

[Betta132]

AW, look at the silly cute baby!
Maybe he's decided that tweezers = food, so if he steals the tweezers he gets food.

Kermit is awesome, and this is an awesome thread !! Love these little guys

 

[Chicago]

not looking so little anymore.. you need a bigger tank!!!

 

[Woogiekids]

he's in the 75g now, so he should be ok.

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

Glad to see Kermit is doing well!

 

[Jasanden]

Very cool

 

[ArmyGreens]

You would think he'd give up the tongs for another serving lol

From tip to tip how large is this guy now?

 

[Woogiekids]

I'd say 10-12 inches spread out.

 

[Woogiekids]

Underwater phone + curious Bimac = tug-o-war! I haven't heard my 8 year old son laugh that hard ever, lol.

Kermit just wanted to take a selfie, cephalopod selfie.

 

[McPuff]

Wow, that is super cool! Definitely a pet most people do not have.

Great thread!!! I am starting my own octo tank on here as well and just picked up a t5 light fixture. What bulbs to you use in yours? Mine is a 4 bulb.

 

[Woogiekids]

I have a t5 with a blue, a purple, and two whites

This is the best thread I've seen in a long time! I think my husband is sick of hearing "aww how cute!" Lol makes me want an octopus so bad!

 

[neontreefrog5]

jesus this makes me want one. i saw a little inklet in my LFS not too long ago and almost cried because i dont have a tank for the full grown one. also loving the "celph'-ie! lol

Guess who's turning one tomorrow? That's right, Kermit! Yes, I'm a huge nerd, but raising him from a 10 day old inklet has been one of the coolest experiences ever! Happy Birthday Kermit!
