Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. My friend and I each bought a greater blue ringed octopus. One is larger than the other and they are in great health. If we have a pair, the goal is to eventually introduce the male into the females tank and try to breed them. I understand these are a very venomous species. We octoproofed an aquarium with Astro turf and a very tight fitted lid. The lid has two clips that secure it and make sure they can’t lift it. We have puncture and slash proof Kevlar gloves and sleeves. Even though they are very docile we are making sure there is no room for error. The aquarium has been ready and cycled for 2 and a half years. We have been looking for them for awhile haha.
I am going away tomorrow and my friend will be taking care of them. I will keep posting updates as I get them. If the videos I have are good enough to be able to sex them, any input would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise once I get back I’ll look a lot closer. Thanks again!
