At present, raising fish is a relatively popular practice, especially raising some ornamental fish. In fact, octopus is also an animal that can be raised, but they are not fish, but mollusks. Also, there are no pet octopuses in general stores, and we can buy them from some aquatic markets. Octopus itself lives in the ocean, so if it is raised in captivity, there will be more problems to pay attention to, so overall it is not particularly easy to raise.
1. Fish tank: First of all, you need to prepare a suitable fish tank for raising a pet octopus. The specific size of different species of octopus is different, so you can buy the right tank according to the size of the octopus. In addition, some aquatic plants and gravel can be added to the fish tank, which can make the ecological environment better.
2. Water temperature: The water temperature in the fish tank is also required by the pet octopus. Octopus is not suitable for living in very low water temperature environment, it is recommended to control the water temperature above 15 C, but not more than 23 C. If necessary, a heating rod can be used to control the temperature.
3. Water quality and water change: Water quality is also an important factor. Because octopuses live in the ocean, if they are raised in fresh water, they may not adapt to the situation, so it is recommended to raise pet octopus in water with salinity of about 1.201. Like when raising fish, octopus also need to change water regularly, but not too often, about twice a month.
4, food: pet octopus also need to pay attention to the feeding problem. Pet octopus mainly eats crustaceans and some plankton, you can buy some shrimp, crab and other food to feed them.
