OCTOPUS!!!!!! help!!!!!

[Jean]

Hi Nini

pumps are a ggood idea to keep the water oxygenated etc as you can't use an aerator (bubbles get into the mantle cavity which can be fatal!!).....don't worry about asking questions that's how we all get the best set ups for our octopus!

so octos have a better chance of survival w/ a pump?

Not only a better chance, but just about the only chance...unless you live by the sea and can do partial water changes daily. (some people actually do...lucky sods)

Picking out the right pump and setting up everything correctly can be a daunting task...be sure to read Colin and Nancy's articles from end to end, before you get an octo!
