singularity's Journal: Octopus (Take 6)

I finished escape-proofing the aquarium this past weekend and so this evening I opened the terrarium and let Pixel out into the rest of the main tank.

He was very cautious at first, and then Righty got too close he even inked a little bit. He quickly snatched up the remaining Sally Lightfoot crab and a large red footed hermit crab and found a hiding spot under one of the rocks to feast.

I checked in on him a few minutes ago and I was glad to see him watching me from the safety and comfort of his hiding spot.

More pictures will come now that he is out in the wild (and in an aquarium where I can scrape the sides clean of algae - the growth was beginning to get thick on the sides of the terrarium, meaning I could not really take any good pictures or movies).

I keep freaking out that he will find some way to get out of the tank somehow and either end up on the floor or in the sump.

For some odd reason...

...I was momentarily confused: were we talking about a new kid in the family or an octopus? :)

Glad to hear things are working out - it sounds like you've got quite a bit invested in this (aside from money).

When you get another movie going, let someone know and I'm sure we can get a .torrent on the main page or something ;).
