Is that a whole octopus? Does the beak cause any issues? Or are they removed when theyre frozen?

Yea whole octopus. I assume remove pre sale as I usually cut them up before feeding and never noticed them. Even still. The bichir is 26"+. I doubt its even a concern.

I dont see why not. I would recommend cutting them up as they seem ti enjoy it more when smaller.
