He looks great. Just make sure he can't escape they will get out. Make sure the Fuge is totally enclosed.

Enjoy your new buddy.

i was always under the impression that octopi were awesome escape artists therefore need of properly securing the lid. however ive found lots of people dont have a lid, and dont have the water level near the top, say 2/3rds way down. spose would only work for small octopi though.

nice one by the way :thumbsup:

I'm not sure about this but, does it have little blue rings is it about the size of a tennis ball maybe a little bigger? They can get squeeze through an opening that's the size of their eyeball maybe a little smaller. Hey, by the way if it is a blue ring you don't want to put your hands in the tank or touch it they have a deadly poison ,"I can't tell if it is or not". they are also imported by accident more than you would think.
hth and I admit that I'm guessing

[Justin_James]

Yes, unless your absolutly sure it's not a blue ring "STAY CLEAR!!!" You will die! :WHOA:

But on a better note, Congratulations on your new octopus.:headbang2

[Max]

I'm not sure not even 50% but, it had enough of the look to make my hair stand on end and I had to say something. I hope I'm wrong.

[thefishofdoom]

it aint a blue ring 1 it is to big and two i know the diff ive seen a blue in persone and a common to and this is just another one they call common.

oh and its size of beak of what they can fit through

[Max]

their beaks and their eyes are about the same size :). It's just easier to see their eyes and a lot less stressful on the critter.
Sorry, I was just trying to help.

Looks like a blue ring. I'd keep a tight lid on it. Either way, all species carry some type of venom. Most aren't any worse than a bee sting - but if it is a blue ring, you'd be dead before you realized you made a mistake.

If someone hasn't had one escape, it's only a matter of time.

I have never seen either in person (blue ring or common), but from seeing numerous videos and photos and comparing it to what i can see from your pictures, i am thinking it looks more like a blue ring than a common. Maybe if you posted a few more pics it would be easier to tell. Maybe by putting your hand in the pic so we can tell the size.

[thefishofdoom]

i post more pics but im 100 percent postitive it is not a blue ring i know these guys
