While I was in Alaska last month I visited the alaska wildlife center and noticed they used indoor/outdoor carpet around the top
of their octo tanks. After reflecting I remember several public aquariums, I've been to, using the carpet to prevent escape. Has
anyone tried this? The tank I am using to house my future octo is a 40gal D.A.S. tank that has a canopy on it. I have glued I/O carpet over
over all the glass above the water line. I hope this works!! The Alaska wildlife center had 2 beautiful red octos. The female, on display,
was 60lbs and is 3yrs old! I was able to take a back stage tour and saw the larg male they had. He was 80lbs and 5 years old!!!
I fell in love with him! I got talking to his caretaker and helped feed the big guy. Has anyone heard of a octo living this long? I was
told they have had him from 3''. They use fresh seawater in their tanks and 40% is changed every hour! This combined with the low temp
might have contributed to the octo's long life. If anyone has tried the carpet please let me know.
Thanks
