I want an Octo :-)

[deanp]

Hi I just went to a local pet store and saw a Bali octo. Im trying to do a bunch of research here. Im gonna set up a 35 gallon hex. Im thinking: hang on Protien Skimmer, run carbon with a magnum and live rock with a rocky substrate. But again what kind should I get???



What kind should I get?

Thanks!!!!!

PS silly question but is a bimac an octopus?

Dean,
Welcom,...please read some of the back posts and you will get a better idea of the general care of the cephs. I've had mine now for about 2 months and he is GREAT.
More specific questions would be appreciated.

Hi Dean if it' s the one at Skipton's, he is a good size allreay, long legs, looks like he will get prety big. You might want to try Tropic Isle they get bimacs in, had'em there the last 2 times I went. Also on the substrate they seem to like sand, I use Southdown playsand and the octo moves so fluidly over it, he never disturbs it.
