ctsniper86 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Help I have a coldwater octopus in my coldwater marine tank. What do I feed this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 They are carnivores.. I would suggest a small chunk of fish or a shrimp would be a good start. In the wild they eat small crabs and any little fish they can catch. They are also escape artists and can squeeze through almost ANY gap. Having no bones is an advantage sometimes, so make sure the tank lid fits REALLY snug. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 feed them whole mussels. they will pull the mussels apart and eat the flesh. otherwise dead fish or even some Turbo snails (He'll suck them out of the shells) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 And watch this video before you choose his tankmates... OK it's a BIG octopus and a small shark... But you get the idea Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
