Sorry, new to site, didn't read your last post before I had posted my reply. But let me know where you're located.

Hi Eric, thanks for the post. I live in San Clemente, so we are quite close. Yes, in my efforts for the baby, I was losing the battle so I released what I could.

In any case, it has been over 2 weeks since the eggs hatched but the mother is still alive. She is not eating and her eyes look all foggy like she is now blind. Color is off and just looks old and ragged. Hope she goes peacefully.

In the meantime, I have found OctoPets or what they call AquaFarm in Carlsbad. I have prepped both my 30 gallon and 55 gallon so I can go down to AquaFarm tomorrow to pick up a new Octopus and a couple of cuttles.

I will go down to trestles today to get some live rock, live crabs and food for them. If interested to hook up to do some exploring...

You can email me at: [email protected]

Octopet's cuttles are going to outgrow that 55 in pretty short order.

I work all day Saturday, but I'll be in contact by email.

Funny, I was in Oceanside last night for the start of Lobster season and I caught an octopus in my net!

Of course I had to let it go, but damn sure wanted to keep it!
