Hi everyone. The names Tim. Ive just moved from the UK a year ago and now living in Tenerife in the Canaries. Kept Sepia officinalis 20 years ago, hatched eggs and reared young and have now just managed to catch myself a medium sized Octopus vulgaris from a local rock pool. Just lucky i guess where i can collect my own. More fun catching one than buying it. Kept native marine species tanks for 25 years now but this is the first time with an octopus. Have at the moment a 130 gal tank with external filtration, skimmers and a just recently purchased chiller. Being an island in the middle of no where prices for things like chillers are pretty expensive. Worth it though to be able to keep the little fellow happy and as near natural conditions as possible. Love the web site. Didnt realise there were so many people dedicated to these cracking creatures.
Keep up the excellent work.
Tim
Keep up the excellent work.
Tim
