octopus

This is my first post on Tonmo. Ive been lurking on this website for years at this point but finally made an account recently. I a few months ago decided I want to make an attempt at my first cephalopod. Ive been keeping reef aquariums for over 2 years and would like to think im pretty good at...

I am not a new fish keeper. I have experience with fresh and salt water tanks. The tanks I have right now are a 210 gallon freshwater aquarium with a gar and Oscars, a 75 gallon freshwater community tank, 20 gallon freshwater tank that im tryna figure out what to put in at the moment (just set...

Hey y'all! I've been lurkin for a while now, but, as I think my tank is finally almost cephalopod-ready, I thought it was time to go ahead and get my journal going! :biggrin2::sly::tentacle: My goal is to have a sort of octo-hospice where I can give octopuses I get from Hmart sold for live...

The original poster

My homage to Walt Kelly, based on his comic poster from the very first Earth Day in 1970

I draw and write all of Octopolis. The first issue is finished, and will be self-published on Kickstarter in May.

Octopuses don’t leave skeletons themselves, so they have no idea that the mysterious ‘two-tailed fish’ built these ruins. They believe in an Ancient sea-spanning Empire that wielded unimaginable power, ruled by octopuses like themselves. They call it… Octopolis.

Ruins of the Old Empire litter the world of Octopolis. Here the main characters explore a sunken subway station, abandoned except for a skeleton of the elusive two-tailed fish.

As today, the ocean is not always a peaceful place. Here is a warrior queen who cannibalizes her mates and wears the beaks of her defeated enemies as a sash. She rides a giant eel that has been bred over generations for tremendous size and jaw strength.

The octopuses have a vibrant trade economy. This octopus family is preparing their sledge with a load of kelp textiles and preserved krill to take to market.

Octopuses have domesticated all sorts of animals for husbandry, service, and raw materials. This sand octopus rides a black-tipped reef shark and wields a turitella-shell spear.

This is the Tide Wall, a living reef that protects the great city-state of Polyps. The parapets are studded with elkhorn coral that breach the surface at low tide, and patrolled by guards at low tide. There are two entrances: A weighted lower gate for ground transport, and a buoyant upper gate...

Octopolis is set in a fictional future where humans drove themselves into extinction and intelligent octopus evolved in their wake. They’ve build their own society in the coral-encrusted ruins of our sunken cities. Disclaimer: I write Octopolis and have drawn everything you see in this image.

Looking for some cuttlefish and cuttlefish eggs. Message me if you have any. Thank you.

Hey guys~ I'm new here. I'm from Korea, but living in Singapore. I've always wanted to keep octopus and cuttlefish since I started fishkeeping 10 years ago. I quit the hobby for 2 years because 4 cats and a fish tank proved too much for my lower back. :biggrin2: Then I started reading up on...

I have always been fascinated with the ocean. After keeping a reef tank for a year, I have decided to try to keep an octopus, I will try to document to the best of my ability my experiences. For those interested, I am currently keeping him in a fluval flex 32.5g with a bunch of live rocks with...

This website has helped me so much in my octopus journey, so I made an account! I currently have a Caribbean dwarf octopus named Buddy who’s either O. mercatoris or O. Joubini I hear they get mixed up a lot. Also have a question for the community while I’m hear! Buddy used to be somewhat active...

Gloomy Octopus/ O. Tetricus (please confirm species identification) in a rock pool at Depot Beach, NSW, Australia, pokes a second sleeping octopus and 'runs' away.

Gloomy Octopus/O. Tetricus (Please confirm correct species identification) in a rock pool at Depot Beach, NSW, Australia, in November 2021. We sat on the edge of the rock pool watching him hunt small crabs, and then in this video you can see he pulls himself out of the water to look at this...

Where can I buy food for a dwarf octopus? Do I need to buy hermit crabs and other small animals specifically listed as being meant to feed an octopus or can I just buy the ones I see at Petco? I live in Michigan if that helps.
