Hi everyone. New here
I'm from the UK. Been after an Octopus for nearly 20 years. We have a few native species but they are protected so illegal to collect or trade. Even though ok for the food trade to kill thousands.
So my only option was the aquarium trade. I would love a bimac or gpo. Been waiting for years. No luck.
They only one obtainable is zebra sp.
Which is either a mimic or wunderpus.
So I have a baby wonderpus about 6 inches in length. Had him for a week. Eats well. Very interactive but not during the day so likely a wunderpus.
Imported from Indonesia I believe.
Not as rare as one would believe. The importer always seems to have plenty ??
Will post a few pics and vids if anybody is interested. I'm keeping a journal to record.
