hey lad, welcome to MFK. I'm sure us fishkeepers stateside would like to get ahold of some baby octopus'. I have never seen any or heard of ppl feeding their cats them. It looks like a good diet, though. saltwater goods are better for FW fish, they dont transfer any parasites. The best diet you could give your fish is a mixed diet.
You should post some pics of your TSN in the photolounge
 
I haven't tried octopus yet, but I DO feed squid fairly regularly and they love that.
 
I know the lady that works in the sea food section of walmart, and I asked her if they ever got squid, for my eel, and she said she'd try next thing I know she had baby octopus there waiting for me! lol.
 
i feed my fish squid but i can't find baby octopus
MAKE SURE that you take out the beak and the ink sack the ink will pollute your water and they can't diguest the beak but other than that should be a great food source just feed them other foods to
 
this is a new one to me... thanks for sharing!

That octopussy is gross lookin, reminds me of the independance day movie alien... Dont ask me why.
