Description

Restricted Species. This species is very difficult to keep and should only be attempted by expert aquarists, or is a `delicate shipper.` Our Arrive Alive guarantee is not available on this item. Octopus - Octopus bimaculatus Color: The Octopus has a brown color. Diet: Carnivore. Behavior: The Octopus bimaculatus is generally aggressive toward other tankmates. Reef compatibility: Can be kept with corals providing there are no fish or motile invertebrates (shrimp, crabs, snails, starfish) in the tank. Care: Many consider the Octopus bimaculatus a high-maintenance specimen. Not venomous. General notes: NOTE: As in the wild, this animal may come to you with some of its tentacles missing (though scientist say they will grow back). Nocturnal feeder. Curious, and will move rocks around. Will squirt ink, if scared. Should be kept in a system as the only specimen. An escape artist by nature, be sure to have a secure fitting top on the tank with no openings. These animals are seasonal and it is best to check with us prior to placing an order to check for availability of this item. Water parameters: Keep water quality high (SG 1.023 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F). Origin: The Octopus is commonly collected from East Pacific. Note: Due to variations among each species, livestock may not look identical to the image provided. Expect diversity since each animal is unique in color, texture and shape.

Great octopus by DALE TYLER Experience Level: Intermediate Posted on 7/2/2008 from FORT WORTH, TX UNITED STATES Comments: I ordered and received a healthy, small octopus that took to eating immediately after being introduced into its tank. However the locality of its origin is not USA. Its species is Abdopus aculeatus, the "Bi-pedal" octopus which is a western Pacific species. Overall a great deal. I am very satisfied. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends. Was this review helpful to you?
