Keepiung and breeding octopus

[oliver s]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the cephalopod world, but anyway interested in keeping and furthermore breeding them. Standing at the beginning of my investigations I am now looking for resources on apropriate species, methods and possiblities of hatching and raising these wonderful animals.

Thanks in advance for every helpful information.:)

To breed them, you will need to find a large egg species. O. mercatoris from Florida is probably the easiest small species. BiMacs bred in California are also fairly easy, but you will need lots of appropriate food.. There are good instructions for this available on the web.
