what do you keep[/i]

Nothing. :( Well, I do keep making pointless posts...

none of them yet (soon a bimac) but i have got a spider that lives on me kitchen window ledge called Archie who i feed moths an catapillars almost every day to. im tryin to teach him to recognise me by tappin by his den when i come to see him. which seems to be workin as he used to be a nervous wreck an now he comes an runs right across the ledge to catch the food i bring him!!! seriously!!! lol

he's called Archie cause (Colin will appreciate this!!!!) i found him there about a year an half ago an forgot about him until not long ago, when i rediscovered him on the day Scotland played Holland an won one-nil.........had to be called Archie after Archie Gemill (spellin?) from the last one-niler between Scot-Holl

for those who dont understand watch the film trainspottin!!! you will then :lol: :lol: :lol:

(sorry to the dutch on here, but your compensation is Amsterdam, :party: :smoke: :shock: :smoke: :bugout: :smoke: :goofysca: :smoke: :bonk: :wine: :cheers: :arr: :headphon: :lol: 8) excellent!!)


People should say what their other pets are aswell!!!!

well im sure you didnt want that load of jibberish, but hey anythin other than study!!!! :lol:

I did keep a bimac, Ollie, but she died about 6 weeks ago. So I'm between octopuses, and intend to get another bimac, but not in the near future.

Right now I have a small invertebrate tank with a very friendly cleaner shrimp (skunk shrimp) who comes whenever he sees either of us. Also hermit crabs, snails, big featherduster, strange mushroom anemone, etc.

Ill be gettin a bimac soon. :)

I keep belemnites. Does that count?

I got a Sepia bandensis. I did do a poll like this quite sometime back :)

i keep change in my pockets....does it count if i arrrange it like an octo?

yes, and its worth a pic :)

I keep dreaming that I'll be able to have a tank. My cat would like the entertainment, too.

Melissa

As of today, one more vote for Bimac. :wink:

at the moment I only keep an octopus stuffedanimalicus.

I've got him for months, but he doesn't eat. :lol:

Quite a few people have stuffed cephs it seems, got a pic?

:roflmao: :octopus: :roflmao:

I have a plastic ceph. 8)

None of the above!!!! Pinnoctopus cordiformis In the aquarium where i work :lol:

J

I got a stuffed cuttle :)

the only cephs i have a above my monitor.... 2 stuffed, 1 squeaky and 1 stretchy

Isn't that acid the octopus? Mine is both stuffed and squeaky. Stretchy?

Right now I have a bimac named Ocho. He has two camel shrimp tankmates and 1 out of 20 hermits that were in there originally there are two mollies that were bought to give Ocho something to chase. There are some tiny snails but i am not sure were they came from. haven't added anything new to the tank in over a year besides Ocho and the mollies. I also breed cockatiels and have a kitty cat and a small fresh water tank in the boys room.

LOVE THE NAME. :)

So close to mine Ochi. It represents 8 as well. Are you refering to spanish or patwa?

I am on my 3rd Bimac. I also have freshwater tanks, frogs, tarantula, desert Kingsnake with a head tilt, 3 rotten cats, 2 rotten dogs, couple English Keets, 1 African Grey that yells at the rotten cats and dogs, and lots of stuffed cephs, ceph statues, plastic cephs, I admit it!!! I am obsessed!!!!! :mrgreen:

And my this obsession has even followed me to work......

Spring :)

I might get my girlfriend a cat. Do you think he'll do well in a 10 gallon tank?

just keep him in full strength sea water and he'll be fine...

for about 5 minutes

:lol:

I currently recommend at least a 29g for cats. :mrgreen:

Spring :)

:twisted:

Those little rice take out containers work well to keep cats in if you divide them up......but that's just what I heard :bonk:

I love cats(mmmmmmm)just kidding

It also depends on what cat you get, pygmy cats will do nicely in a 20 g but the giant pacific felines should not be kept except in the biggest of tanks. :)

You do have alot of pets Spring!

Hrm. My freshwater fish population declined when I started into saltwater. But I sill have a 10-year old catfish as well as a breeding pair of angelfish. I loved them too much to give them up like the others.

In my 75 gal salt tank, I just got my new baby. He is oh so cute and cuddly. I named him Snowflake...... the snowflake moray. With a name like that, I couldnt resist keeping it. He's a little guy right now, only 7 inches. Soon as I introduced him, he started beating up on a local species shrimp eel that is more than twice his length. He also freaks out my yellow tail damsel by stealing his cave. Already he is very brave: he will take his food straight from my hand without hesitating.

Thats it for my pets...for now. At least until i move out of the dorm :shock:

(drum Roll....!!!!!) :band: Cue Archie the Terrible........

brought to you surrounded by recent slaughters I havnt bothered to clean up yet (dont wanna disturb him since he's been so social recently), and only a third out of his den :bugout: :notworth: :lol: :lol: :lol:

He had his first blue bottle today which he caught in the air off a flick from me and dragged into his den!!! tryin to feed him now with a stick before we go onto hand rearin.

All practice for when Inky arrives on his flyin carpet....!!!!

This tank is exclusive for eight-legged creatures! All entrants with legs totaling any number other than eight legs will be eaten.

Melissa

Hi scouse :)

so, what species is it???????

:)

alright Colin

its a 'Scouse-cockney-posh-little-fatty-arantula', dunno if youve heard of em but there leathal!!!

They can swim the backstroke, lift cars, an play football. This one is quite partial to a bit of break dancin aswell which is quite unheard of, except for the blue spotted cousins of these which apparently do it professionally.

I've come in on a couple of occasions to find some tunes playin an him spinnin round on some lino, but as soon as he hears the front door close he's whizzin round packin it all away an sittin in his tunnel. Amazin!!!

I'll try an get an action shot this weekend!!!

Well, I do have a empty tank... and I have a some bacteria in it, does it count? :lol:

Whats a blue bottle, are you talking about that jellyfish thing, almost got stung by it once...

...em it says blue ring which is an octopus... blue bottle me to is a blue arsed fly :)

what do you keep in your tank? there is no option for live rock and water, thats about all we have in our tank :shock: :hmm:

weeelllll.... i would have a bimac in mine but hes out touring the usa with dhl and he called to say that hes not coming home for another 24 hours... his tankmates are starting to throw parties because they think hes not coming home...

Hi,
I keep a Octopus Vulgaris.
Size: about 37cm.
Weight: about 100g.

er none of the above! I personally don't keep one (no time!) but at work we have and care for the NZ Common Octopus Pinnoctopus cordiformis, the Midget Octopus Octopus spp (most likely O. warringa ) and sometimes the sepiolid Sepioloidea pacifica and very very very occasionally for very very very VERY short periods of time juvenile ommastrephid squid Nototodarus sloanii

J

i gotta stuffed octo, a squishy rubber octo, and my grandma made me an orange and blue bean bag octopus for me for the FIGHTING ILLINI!!!.........hopefully adding a real bimac late this month or early next

Octopus bocki is spelled incorrectly.

i havent got one yet...perparing my tank, but im getting what they call a common octopus from the Gulf of Thailand (no distinctive markings) WHAT COULD THIS SPECIES BE?? ide really like to know.
