    Octopus

    if they are small enough they grow in that environment and don't try to escape, never had a lid on an octopus tank yet

    Octopus

    Had this guy for 3 months now he was brought to me from some fisherman who found him in an empty barnacle shell they pulled up from 30 metres just off the coast here. He hasn't grown much so i hope he is an Octopus huttoni as they only grow to approximately 24cm, in the plastic mesh cage ar oysters and the squares in it are 25mm, he has been a bugger to get a pic of as he has been travelling from the tank through the bell siphon and into the sump which is a rockpool. Lost him for three weeks and thought he had been eaten but found him in the rockpool so put him back in the tank.

  13. you need to get the surface of the water moving to allow an exchange of gases produced by the plants a water change will help too
  14. Going by the look of the surface of your tank(bubbles and film) you have no flow in there, so get some water movement going and you can siphon that fungus out also

    That will be a good start, have you researched how to breed them and what the fry need to ensure survival?
