Pet Octopus Appears Out Of Nowhere To Catch Prey!

[madness1005]

Hey i could get used to this place, im going to call all my familly and move them all....erk

[Couplemate]

Such a majestic animal and a real treat to be able to keep one as a pet an aquarium enthusiast needs a lot of heart to keep one of these, its extremly difficult to keep one mainly because of the animals skin, they have NO protection what so ever to water imbalances while fish at least have scales, so many things can go wrong with keeping one of these unique creatures that it is quite like a toddler in a tank needing constant care cause it WILL come looking for that attention if its not given it.

lol, why keep an octo if the fun lasts for 2 years, screw maintaining a saltwater tank, get a turtle.

[VampAro600]

@tom3999 turtles are for losers.

why dont you look up videos about turtles

[terryeddyterry]

@VampAro600 turtles arent for losers my turtle is a 13 year old red ear slider and he lives in a man made koy pond in my backyard. he eats feeder gold fish and swims alot

[JoseDepacos]

Dont octo's have short life spans? My understanding was that they only live a year or two. Would be a shame to have such a cool pet and it be so short lived.

[Krisbrak]

Yes, they only live 1.5 to 2.5 years =[ Gyth only lived 1.5..

It isn't incredibly long.. but they learn so much in that time, and you have to enjoy it while you can. They are incredible animals. Really does suck to see them go though because they are smart and sociable.. you grow attached to em.

[terryeddyterry]

@JoseDepacos they live six months

[JoseDepacos]

@terryeddyterry Must be why the posters lived for 1.5 years. Perhaps stick to your turtle.

[unrescuable]

you like metal and octopi. i like you.

[MinisterKGB]

Looks like a Net Made of Awesome

[WTF2332]

metalcore + pet octopus = EPIC WIN

:D

[JayInked]

I really wont to get one, how big of a tank do you have? I have a 125gal. should be big enough right? You ever have a problem with him bothering other fish in the tank?

[woodybrennan]

Did the octopus write the music too?

[Krisbrak]

Nope, just a badass metal octopus. lol

[mercurybottle]

lol gotta fucking love emmure!!!!!! bad ass octo though. what is he? sorta looks like a bimac octo.

[WyrdinWyld]

@JayInked: There have been verified reports of Octopii leaving the water, after dusk,to climb equatorial beachside trees...to snack out.

[Waltjob]

@WyrdinWyld is that true?

[Krisbrak]

Yes lol, they have left their tanks and gone in feeder fish tanks to eat, then went back to their big tank. And crawling up trees to get big crabs and whatever else they can get.

There's some hoax for a 'Pacific Northwest tree Octopus' that doesn't exist lol

[tyronepro]

lol at the music!! that was awesome

[JayInked]

ever try to get out of the tank, thought about buying one for my tank,

[Krisbrak]

Nope our's actually never left our tank, or not that we know of lol =]

They are pretty sneaky and nocturnal, and know when you are around.. So they would do it when we're asleep if they did ha.

It's not too big of a problem to deal with I don't think.. Just keep all of the holes taped up, other than for the protein skimmer if need be. They are really sensitive to water quality to make sure you have everything perfect before you put them in or they could die. Awesome pet though, so smart mang.

[mistahjoey]

Emmure made this so much better

[hollywoodartchick]

Gorgeous little guy! I love octopi. I visit them in the ocean, but I have never kept one.

[Krisbrak]

Thanks! lol yeah they are great. I want to go scuba diving once and see octopuses and cuttlefish =]

[hollywoodartchick]

You don't have to go too deep. I see them in about 35-45' salt water. Perhaps I will "See you on the bottom" as we say.

[S3CT10NE1GHT]

thats so cool. i used to have a tank of marine fish. i had clown fish, gobies, tangs, shrimp and a sea anemone. whats it like keeping an octopus? are they hard to look after?

[Krisbrak]

=] It's a lot of fun! All you need is decent saltwater experience, a really good protein skimmer, check the chemical balance a lot, and do water changes every week or week and a half. Food is a little expensive unless you can go and find crayfish and crabs for yourself. When they are young you can feed them silversides, shrimp, frozen saltwater creatures like those.

[snowboarderx3x]

you cant have them in a reef tank though? they need there own tank?

[Tromp88]

They eat damn near anything they can catch.

[snowboarderx3x]

cool =]
