Common Octopus

$999.99

The Common Octopus is a highly intelligent and versatile species, known for its ability to camouflage and solve complex puzzles. It thrives in rocky coastal environments and exhibits fascinating behaviors, such as using tools and changing color to blend into its surroundings. In the aquarium, it requires a well-structured tank with plenty of hiding spaces and a secure lid, as it is skilled at escaping. Due to its size and intelligence, the Common Octopus is best suited for experienced aquarium keepers who can meet its needs for enrichment and care.

Acclimation
  • Turn off the lights: Switch off both your aquarium and room lights before opening the box.
  • Float the bags: Open the box, remove the individual bags from the liner, and float them in your aquarium for 15-20 minutes. This helps the water in the bags gradually adjust to your tank’s temperature.
  • Gradual water mixing: After floating, transfer the contents of the bags into a sterile bucket or container. Add small amounts of your aquarium water every 3-4 minutes, continuing until the water in the container has doubled.
  • Dispose and add more water: Once the water level in the container has doubled, dispose of half of it and continue adding your tank water until the water volume in the container has doubled again.
  • Acclimated and ready: Your marine life is now properly acclimated and ready to be added to the tank. Be sure to dispose of the packing and acclimation water—never pour it into your tank.
  • Observe: Leave the lights off for a while and monitor your new tank mates for any signs of aggression.
