[Octopus]: This is Fred - A. Aculeatus

Unfortunately Fred died a couple of weeks ago and so I put him in the freezer with Bob and the hummelicki that arrived dead. My grandson, Tim, asks me to get the octopus out so he can see them!
DWhatley, Fred was the 5th animal I have had in 1 and 1/2 years. Is that a lot? I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. The water quality is stable and they all eat well until the end. I just want to make sure I am doing everything on my end so they have good lives.
 
I have not noticed problems with your post. It is definitely a difficult hobby and hard to face the natural shortness of their lifespan. It would be nice if we could improve it with captive life but this only seems to have been (possibly) accomplished with an occasional GPO.
