octopus / cuttlefish / squid

[Innuendo6]

hi guys im new here.

 

thinking of setting up a tank to keep octopus or cuttlefish or squids. 

anyone with similar setup and experience to share?

where to get supply of saltwater crustaceans to feed them?

thanks in advance

That is great.

I think they don't mind eating frozen fish from market if you train them.

I have kept cuttlefish multiple times. IME they are not easy to keep mainly because they seem to like jetting backwards into the tank walls which might damage their tissue and cause infections. But if you’re keen on them, a Low-flow setup with plenty of rocks and substrate for them to blend in is ideal. Avoid sharp, protruding structures like certain corals and rocks because in a confined space they are blind to injure themselves on it

Cuttlefish are very hard to train to eat frozen food unless you buy captive-bred ones. You can actually catch plenty of small crabs at Pasir Ris beach at breakwater 14. Shrimp is more seasonal but when they are in season you can easily scoop them hundreds of glass shrimp out of the water at Pasir Ris beach and Changi
