Otto The Octopus Is Tired Of This Shit

Otto is a local resident of the Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany, and he’s starting a rebellion. At first it he tried redecorating his tank a few times, but when that diidn’t satisfy his boredom he started throwing stones at the glass, and juggling the neighborhood Hermit Crabs.

These days Otto has moved on to new and more dangerous tricks. Staff were forced to camp out near Otto’s tank to witness his newest tantrum. They discovered that Otto became annoyed by the bright light shining into his tank and discovered that he could extinguish it by climbing onto the rim of his tank and squirting a jet of water in the lights direction. This short-circuited the light and the whole electricity supply for the aquarium and threatened the lives of the other animals when the water pumps stopped.

Beluga Whales Now Endnagered

I had the chance to see belugas first hand at the Georgia Aquarium earlier this year and they are an incredible animal. While they aren’t technically a fish, they are one of the most amazing creatures in our oceans and they have recently been recognized as an endangered species. Belugas are incredibly intelligent, just take a look at this video.

The Oldest Living Fish

The oldest fish in captivity has now spent 75 years in an aquarium. He made his journey, via steamship and train, from Australia, to Chicago for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair.The Australian lungfish known as Granddad is 4 feet long and 25 pounds and is said to be at least 80 years old.


No one is quite sure how old Granddad is — just that he’s been in Chicago for 75 years. That makes the Australian lungfish the longest-living fish at any aquarium in the world.

More From Georgia Aquarium!

We took 723 photos and 29 minutes of video in just over three hours at Georgia Aquarium last weekend. I’ve edited about 50 of the best images and I’ll be updating our gallery as I edit more pictures. I’m not sure when I’ll get the video done, but I’ll try and make some time! If you ever find yourself anywhere near Atlanta Georgia, you MUST go see this place for yourself.

Re: Japanese Tackle Shops

That's the trouble right there, the finish on these Lures!...I started buying Rapala jointed and when i had a couple i just had to buy them in all the different finishes (Hot Perch, Perch, Walleye etc etc), i had so many in the end it was like i was collecting them to put in a glass case or something, i didn't dare use them, a Pike won't care if your Lure cost 5 quid or 30 quid, it's still gonna scratch all that fancy artwork/paintwork either way!...I sold all mine as a set on ebay in the end as i [...]

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!

I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
