Conditions for breeding octopus

Octopuses can be kept alive in artificial breeding because they do not have high requirements for the environment and are not difficult to raise. However, octopuses are marine creatures and need to be raised in seawater so that they can live normally. In addition, some species of octopuses are poisonous and are not recommended for breeding. In addition, as long as the water temperature and water quality are controlled, they can grow normally.

1. Environment: To raise octopuses, you need to prepare a comfortable environment according to their habits. The first is the living space. You can choose the size of the fish tank according to the size of the octopus. In addition to the size, you should also pay attention to the depth. If the fish tank is too shallow, the octopus may crawl out directly. Secondly, the water for breeding should be seawater, because octopuses are marine creatures and are accustomed to living in seawater, so the salt content of the water should be 1.201. Finally, a layer of gravel and ceramic pots should be laid in the fish tank, so that the marine environment can be restored more.

2. Water temperature: Octopuses do not have high requirements for water temperature. They can live in water temperatures between 15-32°C. If the water temperature for breeding is lower than 15°C, a heating rod needs to be installed to keep the water temperature within a stable range.

3. Oxygen: Octopus has a relatively large demand for oxygen. If the breeding space is not very large, it is best to continue to oxygenate to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water.

4. Feeding: Octopuses like to eat shrimps, shellfish, and crabs. When they are artificially bred, you can choose to feed them some sea shrimps. Octopuses are relatively smart. The food you feed them does not need to be deliberately processed. Just put it directly into the water. They will swallow shrimps directly, but for shellfish and crabs, they will bite the outer shell of the food and then eat the meat inside. So when octopuses are artificially bred, just put the food directly into the water.
