my unexpected 125g build

[Jsmith79]

Fishsupply.com has a mimic octopus for 350.00 I looked too after watching tanked. Those guys annoy me, but I like to see the tanks, and fish!

Jsmith, thank you sooo much for the link, mark my words, I will have a mimic octopus within a year

I found a 100g set in CL for 300 I may buy but looking for the perfect spot to place it

 

[huma-huma]

Id jump on it(15)

 

[Ibrahim]

Yea I have 500 now so.. I'll have to slow down on my 75g reef. I'm thinking of going with a plain octopus for a year till I master it then a mimic. I don't want to spend 300 and lose him in a week lol

Good call... im just hoping the mimics lifespan is decent.. I heard they don't live that long. Then again don't know how true that is

 

[POEDOLLA]

I'm new and would like to ask a question.

 

[POEDOLLA]

I recently bought a 150 gallon salt tank and put up 3 hours ago and it's still so cloudy I can't see anything what did I do wrong?

 

[kurtyboh]

you can start your own thread so everyone can help you with less confusion for everyone. you can start by answering- did you mix the salt in the tank? was the sand pre-washed or did you wash it?

 

[matthewh133]

Don't ask a question in some one else's thread, that's rude.

They live about a year. Sometime more or less

Blahhh that's crappy, idk about 350 bucks and an entire setup for a species that may live a year

 

[coffeetwitch]

if you really want one, thats less than a $1 a day to own one, minus food.

 

[slitherbomb]

I don't see the appeal of an octopus. My lfs sells them though for only $30. They almost always have an Atlantic octopus.

 

[huma-huma]

I loveee the way they move and glide, but mainly im mesmerized by the mimics ability to instantly change color and its attitude

 

[coffeetwitch]

it was pretty cool to watch on the vid.

 

[huma-huma]

The mimic can choose which predatorial fish to mimic based on its attacker...how does it know what to choose? Its crazy

 

[coffeetwitch]

its stupid that the life span is so short.
