Hello everyone I'm hoping someone has so information for me.
Me and my girlfriend went to a new LFS for one of our sunday night dates supposed to be one of the best in Michigan. Well, right before I was leaving happily with my white spotted bamboo shark egg, my girlfriends eye was caught by this octopus inside a piece of PVC pipe.
Well to make a long story short she bought her. And the reason I know it's a her is my problem. We got her home and I have her in my 55g display tank in my living room inside a critter cage untill her tank is ready, and everything was good. Couple hours later I moved the PVC she was in to have a look and to my surprise I saw what looks to me like eggs. >.< I did a little bit of research on octo eggs and I'm pretty sure that's what they are.
The picture I took its really hard to see them, but this octo looks way to small to even be able to lay eggs, as far as I know, the LFS said that she would get a little bit bigger than what she is, but if she has laid eggs doesn't that mean she close to death?
Either way, I called the LFS and they said they'd happily exchange her for the other one they had, seeing as I don't think I'd be able to even attempt to hatch and care for the fry.
If anyone could identify they species of octopus she is, also if they are actually eggs. If you can't tell with they picture I'll try and get a better one.
It won't let me post THe pictures from my phone. I'll post THe pictures when I get home and on my laptop.
