    so i have now had the octopus for two weeks and i thought i would just keep everyone posted on his status. He has livened up more than i possibly could have imagined, i think he was initially sluggish because the dissolved oxygen levels in the tank were not kigh enough, he recognizes me when i come to feed him and is wild to watch move around the tank. I feed him two normal sized krill a day and he comes up and grabs them right out of the tongs! (i am still too nervous to feed him by hand)
