Octopus Availability

[shipposhack]

Saltwaterfish.com currently has their octopuses on sale. They are $50. I think minimum order is $80 but you could just buy crabs or something for him to eat if you don't have another tank.

In San Francisco Bay area..there are a couple for 30$ each at.. 6th avenue. Looks like bimancs

I recieve one from Saltwaterfish.com tomorrow. They apparently still have them in stock. There is a $9 "fuel charge" on top of the manditory $79 minimum order.

I was told via email from the swf.com staff that they receive their octopuses from a collector in the Caribbean. Considering the ones I've seen from swf.com have false eye-spots like a Bimac, I assume they are O. Filosus, aka the Caribbean Two-Spot Octopus.

It's happened. One of the females has laid eggs. I counted about 40 but didnt make any effort to move her around to see into the back of the den. She is in a small vase. Very exciting. Zy

 

[sorseress]

That's great, Zyan! Keep us posted.

 

[delosa]

I'm glad to hear it Zane. My little Octopus laid eggs too, but I think they are going to be too small to keep. I've give it my best but I'm not putting my money any babies growing up.

Good news, Zyan!

[DHyslop]

Good news? I was hoping they wouldn't start laying eggs for another six months
