hi guys, We were here a while back with a few bobtail squids. We've moved since then and released the rest of the bobs back into the water. Well we now have a 25 cube and a "short arm octo". i found it in the hoover invert book. . the guy at my lfs says that they don't get much bigger than the one we got wondering if anyone has anymore info on it? it's about the size of a kiwi, so far it seems to be eating swimming crabs, comes out @ night, but likes to hide in my filters. is this ok? i tried putting shells in the tank, he used them for the first 2 days and now he just hides in the filter. he does come out @ night. he hasn't tried to escape yet. any tips on octoproofing? i looked in tank setups at some of the pics but didn't see any tanks like mine. the hood doesn't come off, it's on a hinge, and there are small holes in the back for a few of the wires to come out. i can't really tape them up. any suggestions? i would love to post some pics, but can't get my camera to upload. looking foward to hearing from all of you, it's great to be back!
