Octopus

[MyOwnGrowOp]

im not sure if this is the right section but here it goes. Hello everyone. i currently have a 120 gallon full reef and am thinking about setting up a smaller tank for an octopus. Now i know you have to have a fully sealed tank as they can escape through anything but i am wondering if there is anything else i need to know. also, what are the best kinds to get? one that stays fairly small and isnt impossible to keep. Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks

Try the Cephalopods forum, a few rows above this one.

I know they do better if you keep them thinking so they do not get bored. ( stimulate their mind) Example puting a crab in a container and let him try to figure how to get it out. i also read they can identify their owner, and be tought tricks . they compaired them to having a dog. a great pet

i hear they rarely live longer than a year. But there are defenitely smaller ones to be had, any lfs should be able to order what you want. No blue ring's though or we may never hear from you again.
