bimac

I am planning to get a Bimac in January. Do I need a chiller? Can the tank remain at room temperature and be ok for that species?

I received Seymour on Wednesday! He is settling in nicely and eating on shoreline crabs.. I bought a few things for him to try today like clams and mussels. But no interest in those, however he did take a silver slide fish from the tongs today! these are the only photos I have of him currently...

I was lucky enough to order one of @Tomh 's bimacs on 7/19/22. I ordered a "small" individual, but was pretty shocked how big he was when I received him 😂 (this is coming from only previously owning 2 dwarf octopi haha). He came in very healthy and acclimated quickly. He took freshly thawed...

I am very interested in taking on a bimac as a pet. Before I make the decision, I would like some input from current or past bimac owners on what I will need to make caring for an octopus a successful experience. I have done some research, but I would find the advice of someone who has cared for...

Hello all, I have a bimac octopus in a 55 gal, who hasn't eaten for a few days, as far as I can tell. I recently did a water change, but the nitrate levels are still a bit higher than I'd like them to be. My octopus has refused it's usual shrimp, and doesn't seem interested in food that I give...

Hello all, I have a young bimac in a 55 gallon tank, and I had a question about live food. How concerned should I be about potential parasites on live food? Is there any real risk of transmission of parasites, or is it okay to get live food from some place like h-mart or a local seafood place?

Hi, sorry it’s been awhile!!! Had this baby Bimac for about a month. Really fun personality for such a young octopus! Still have to come up with a name? Any suggestions? First pics are her eating a piece of shrimp. Lol. Thanks Tom

Hello, I have just gotten into the aquarium hobby and am planning on getting a ~50 gallon tank for a bimac octopus. However, there's just so much information and different products, and I'm not sure what to get for the tank, especially in terms of filtration. I would appreciate any help that any...

Hey! Been researching and collecting supplies for awhile now and I believe I'm finally ready to start my cephalopod adventure. Only problem is I cant find a bimac for sale! Everyone is sold out and links from a decade ago are no good. Anyone know where I could get one?

I've always loved marine creatures and art, so here's my combination of the two :) Octopus bimaculoides Octopus chierchiae Metasepia pfefferi Sepioloidea lineolata

Hello everyone! Was wondering where I can buy an actual Bimac? I’ve been looking around, but can’t find anything...any help would be appreciated! I live in Southern California. Thanks and hope everyone is doing okay during this rough time.

Hello! I'm working with Octopus bimaculoides and looking at trying to rear some fertilized eggs. I would like to raise them in different tanks than the adults are housed in for logistical reasons (mostly to prevent them from going into the filtration system, but also to better track their...

Water temp is 69 degrees, nitrate 20ppm, Ph 8.2. Picture of tanks attached. The smaller 30 gallon tank next to the DT is...
