My bimac Octo

Quick video of my baby bimac octo. sorry for the poor quality, I wasn't expecting him to be roaming the tank when I got home and the cellphone camera was all that I had within reach.

Where did you find it?
I've been looking for one for quite some time now, with no luck.

Keep an eye on the "Octopus availability" thread on TONMO.com

Hmm...

Well you might keep an eye on www.marinedepotlive.com or www.tropicalfishoutlet.com as they sell supposedly captive-raised Bimacs.

Saltwaterfish.com and Liveaquaria.com also have both had octos in-stock frequently as of late, but those aren't going to be Bimacs. Saltwaterfish.com sells O. Filosus/Hummellincki and Liveaquaria usually sells Aculeatus abdopus (indo-pacific) No idea what their Caribbean species is, but the picture looks like a dwarf O. mercatoris. Since they do suggest a very large tank and say it can reach 30 inches, I would assume they do occasionally sell O. vulgaris.

Several species make good captive pets, and the Caribbean species don't require a chiller, unlike Bimacs.

LFS's are sometimes granted a tank raised octo. You will probably pay extra for it though.
