My husband and I have had our octo Smedley for about 2 weeks now. He is very active and adapted well to his new tank. He comes out with the lights and then goes to sleep pretty much all day. When he is out, he walks around the glass, slips through his little walk ways, hangs out on the rocks, and seems to be very happy. He is eating well, and has not shown any signs of stress. He is in a 30 gallon tank while the 55 gallon is maturing. It should be ready soon, although I don't want to stress him out by moving him, but it will be better in the long run. He has some toys, which he doesn't want (leggos) and any brain teaser we have used to feed him, he has figured out in no time.
The problem is that he has run into the sides of the tank a couple of times. I know that this is not a good sign. I have tried to look back in the archives, and I can't find anything about why he would do this. He doesn't do it constantly, but I know I read somewhere that this is not a good sign. We did a water test, and everything is where it should be. Our salinity was a little high (1.024), We do a 20% water change once a week. Can anyone help and tell us if this is a major issue and how to fix it. We don't like to see him do this. We don't want him to get hurt, and we want him to be happy. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks
