View Full Version : Oscars first pictures delosa Jun 12th, 2007, 09:15am Here is a 1 min video of my new octopus. I was hoping someone could help me id him. He is approx 6" long. So far, he is more active at night, but he moves around during the day too. Most of the the pictures are taken from the side of a 75 gal tank. He loves fiddler crabs.

Nancy Jun 14th, 2007, 01:25am He looks sturdier and stockier than a bimac to me. Does he have false eyespot - rings - below his eyes? He doesn't have much webbing, I notice. Nancy dwhatley Jun 14th, 2007, 01:59am I noticed the short webbing too but the patterning and suggested eye spot doesn't look like Mercatoris (short webbed pygmy). delosa Jun 14th, 2007, 09:09am I copied this at a higher resolution. Maybe you can see the eyespot better. ob Jun 14th, 2007, 10:01am What a lovely stocky little octopus! sorseress Jun 14th, 2007, 01:12pm What a cutie! Animal Mother Jun 14th, 2007, 04:52pm Look up Clyde the Octopus, same species. Clydes owner has 2 more just like him as well, and I don't think he ever figured out what species they are exactly, but they all came from saltwaterfish.com. They are all VERY day active, and yellow seems to be one of their favorite colors.
