Goodwin...Clyde is so beautiful, I'm sure she's a clydine or clydella...look at how gracefully she moves! I'm curious too, can you keep two in the same tank? That would be so cool...did you see the threads a while back. Someone was trying to figure out how to make a tank secure for an octopus...I told them to search your threads but I don't know if they ever did.

I have been told that you shouldn't have 2 in the same tank. That is the reason I had the removeable divider put in the octopus tank. Once CRUSH is in his side and stays put, I am going to put Clyde on the other. (At least that is the plan) I wish I could have gotten more video of Clyde "walking" on the bottom. Really neat! Clyde is real fond of hermit crabs. Gets them before I can get the camera rolling. I'll get a picture of his den for you to see.

Inspired by the pictures of CAZ2022, I thought that I would see what Clyde would do with a crab in a small container. 2 different occasions, Clyde went after the container only to pull back from it. After 4 hours, Clyde still hadn't gotten the crab out of the container, Clyde had eaten 2 other crabs earlier. so maybe he wasn''t hungry enough to work at it. I will give it another try today and see if he has any better luck

It took Vigo a few days to figure out the jar. He pulled away the first few times too,I could almost hear him say "what the f**k?!!" He used to try to jump right on the crab,now he knows to go after the lid. I see that your using tupperware,it might be to tight of a fit. I use a babyfood jar with the lid from an old fishfood container. If you really wnt to fire him up
,poke a few holes in the lid so he can get an arm in but,can't get the crab out.
Heres a couple more of him going after the lid.
Goodwin9-how do you go about uploading your video's?

photobucket.com , setup an account (free) and you can upload and store photos or videos. Would love to see a video of your octopus with the jar. Wish I could find one, (a jar with a screw on lid) around the house, neither octopus is having much luck with the tupperware.
