cuttlefish and octopus? are they good for begginers?

[tunicateperson]

I have a 29 gallon oceanic biocube. I am a begginer. Would you reccommend a octopus or cuttlefish?:celeb2:

I know they are very smart!

I would never want to discourage someone from trying something, however, for a beginner I would recommend against this for a couple of reasons. First, a 29 gallon biocube is not the ideal setup and second they require more care than the basic saltwater fish. I have been looking into this for a long time and have had a variety of tank but yet I still do not I am ready for a cephalopod.

I wouldn't say you need a certain amount of experience for them, you just need to have the proper equipment and research... We all start somewhere whether it's with a reef, ceph, fowlr, etc you have to do the research and have the equipment needed in order to be successful. Not to say starting with a more basic set up and more forgiving fish wouldn't help out, but if you have time, money, and knowledge cephs are a possibility.

what would be a good basic setup?
