Octopus - Octopus bimaculatus
TANK BORN AND RAISED ON THE FARM!
Note: Due to new regulations in 2009 the California Bimac is a very hard octopus to find for sale. Ours are born and raised on a farm in areas such as Mexico, Indo-Pacific, American Samoa, Japan and Australlia. This will be a true California Bimac despite the impossibility of obtaining these as some may indicate.
The Octopus has a brown color. Carnivore. The Octopus bimaculatus is generally aggressive toward other tankmates. Can be kept with corals providing there are no fish or motile invertebrates (shrimp, crabs, snails, starfish) in the tank. Many consider the Octopus bimaculatus a high-maintenance specimen. Not venomous. NOTE: As in the wild, this animal may come to you with some of its tentacles missing (though scientist say they will grow back). Nocturnal feeder. Curious, and will move rocks around. Will squirt ink, if scared. Should be kept in a system as the only specimen. An escape artist by nature, be sure to have a secure fitting top on the tank with no openings. These animals are seasonal and it is best to check with us prior to placing an order to check for availability of this item. Keep water quality high (SG 1.023 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 65 - 78° F). The Octopus is commonly raised in aquariums in the Indo-Pacific so are use to the warmer temperatures of a tropical tank however by nature, prefer cooler water if possible like that along the California Coast Line.
