Congrats on keeping him so long... Definitely get him a tank though if for no other reason then we can get some SWEET pics of it

Didnt find a good deal on an aquarium this weekend. I did just shoot this feeding vid though, sorry the quality is crappy but you can see how he comes out as soon as the shrimp hits the water.

Maybe it's my computer but I can barley see anything in the video. From what I did see seem like he is swarming to any food that is put in that bucket. Keep up the good work.
Congrats on keeping it for so long, especially in a 5 gal bucket. That said, he looks healthy and I don't get all the flaming, if it weren't for you attempting to keep him he'd be fish s*** by now.....
dude, this is awesome. Reminds me of when I kept a 4" garter snake in a 5 gallon bucket and fed him baby toads for a month. I read the whole thread, can't understand why folks get so offended that you decided to keep a octopus, he seems a lot happier in there then he would on the end of a fishing line.
Octopus are a wonderful creatures to keep JD, you are doing a fine job. As you have already discovered, they are the masters of escape. It is a fact that if you can fit a pen through a gap, the octopus will also get through.
It saddens me to read some of the negative remarks that have littered you thread. I find it ironic that I have mentioned on the open forum that I feed my G. Funebris live octopus, and I have not received ONE word about cruelty. So why you are being accused of being cruel is a mystery to me. I wish you well with your new project.
Peace.
