Well....Gimpy continues to do very well. He has been eating daily. Jess and I went collecting the other day and came home with about 30 crabs and shrimp. We put about 10 shrimp in with Gimp and he spent the rest of the day trying to catch them. Swimming off the sides of the tank, at one point he was puddled up I think trying to look like a blob waiting for a shrimp to come near. As of today there are about 3 left, obviously the smart ones. I am still a little puzzled to his species as sometimes his legs look really long. The one that was growing in is now hard to determine which one it originally was. This means 4 weeks later it's almost identical to the others. He still insists on squeezing into a large shell with his meal.

awsome !! my octopus is in a stage of hiding *sigh* best of luck though.

Happy anniversary to Gimpy!

I didn't realize an arm could grow back that quickly.

Is Gimpy continuing to grow or do you think he's an adult by now?

I've always admired the way you catch your own food, so the octo of the moment has an abundance of crabs and shrimp and other good food. The rest of us would if we could!
