wjat are some national or local live crab sources you have found for your octo tha i could acces for food. ie. fiddlers etc. for cheap.?

You could collect your own if you live close to the coast, there is a live shrimp link in the Marketplace forum if you'd like shrimp instead.

Aquaculture ships fiddlercrabs and is very reasonable!!! Think there's a link in weblinks under Cephcare/Supplies! And Jess and I did go collecting today! We got clams, 2 kinds of snails, some crabs and a few mussels! Inklet is happily dining on a clam!!

This is the link to the website Carol was thinking of.

I relied on this group in Florida to supply the Fiddler crabs for my bimac. I had weekly or biweekly shipments coming in. Very reliable and nice people to work with.

doesnt look like they sell crabs there... where can i get some?

Try again! You'll find fiddler crabs under salt water invertebrates.

The shore shrimp are good for older octopuses, hard to catch for the young ones.

Just to add another source I have came accross at a good price, not including shipping. However, I usually get a coral or two at the same time and at .60 each it is a deal.
