My new pet....
« on: June 22, 2009, 12:08:15 PM »
So as some you know and many don't I am a commercial fisherman in Miami.  Part of the perks of my job is finding cool stuff to put in my fish tank.  Anyway stone crab season ended not too long ago, and while pulling all my traps for the off season, i found a tiny octopus stuck to the top of a trap, so I grabbed him and stuck him in my fish tank. Anyway he has finally gotten big enough that he is exploring the tank and coming out in the open so I finally got some pics of him.

                    :noid  You should probably check to make sure it is legal to keep him  :noid


No one here wants you to get in trouble with anyone for keeping an octupus you caught. At least make sure it isn't an endangerd species or new species or anything like that. If it was a new species then you could name it just like if you disvovered a new element :D.

I am fully lic. to capture Atlantic aquarium species. And no these are no endangered in fact people eat them alot. you can buy them canned near the anchovies at the supermarket. I think they taste like rubberbands

And rubber bands are delicious, so I must try this 'octopus' of which you speak...

Your not cooking them right, most likely over cooking.

Oh yeah, canning it will make it much better, might as well be eating SPAM.

Seriously, tho..  Very cool.   Judging from some of the background, you must have a pretty big aquarium.  Got any other pics available?

If it was a "he" what would you have named it? :D. When it gets big enough we should make fried calamari.
