I'm talking about the animal here I know they only live 1-2 years and are very tricky to keep in the tank, but has anybody here owned one?
We usually have one or two at work and I never realized how fun they are to watch until today. We had one that was real smart. They are kept in an aquarium inside a smaller plastic reptile container. This guy found out how to open the cage twice. So we put about 5-8 lbs of rock on top and he still opened it! This is from an octopus with a abody smaller than my fist and legs about 6-8 inches long. The first time he escaped he went for a $80 lobster but luckily we quick stopped him. Then he was trying to rip a large hermit crab from it's shell. We then fed him a smaller fish and it was so cool to see him grab eat and chow down. We then put a feeder fish in a small soda bottle and put the cap on to see if he would open it. Unfortunatly I had to go home at this point so I couldn't see what happened. Can't wait to see if he figured it out tomorrow.
