Hello im new and want to keep an octo. Whats the minimum tank size for an octo :?
:notworth:

Welcome to Tonmo,
Depends entirely on species, as their size varies greatly, but generally a 50-55 g would work for a bimac.

welcome to tonmo.... yep thats about minimum to doa good job of it

:welcome: to TONMO, KalihiBoy!

:welcome: ! A 55 gallon tank is great! Do you have one?

Do you have any aquariums?


:D

:welcome: to TONMO.com Kalihiboy!

Hope you'll have a great time here :heee:

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. :D
Well yeah I do have a 55gal,but I have fish and inverts in it.
Could I keap an octo with all of them in the same tank? :)

Well no not really. Either the octo would eat the fish or the fish might eat the octo. What exactly do you have in there?

I got a blue throat triggerfish,a potters angelfish,4 frilled gobies,a blennie,a long nose buterfly,3 sea urchins,4-5 brittle stars,2 hermits,a rock crab and 2 cowries. :heee:

I live in HAWAII,and some people I know cought there own octo's from the beach. Got any comments :?: :thumbsup: :thumbsdo:

As long as its legal then fine.. most species outwith Octopus bimaculoides are wild caught... maybe you'll get lucky and catch an Octopus cyanea???

that's a definite 'no' to the fish mixing by the way :)

Thanks alot for the info :notworth:
Just one more question, what do i use for aquascaping?

Live Rock
Base Rock
Dead Corals
Plastic Corals
Coral Sand
Silver Sand
Gravel
Plastic Pipes
Caves
Macroalgae


I wonder where I got that from?

:heee:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO :D

God Bless! :D

No problem. :)

Got any comments :?: :thumbsup: :thumbsdo:
Catch me a stubbby squid or two! :P
Good luck with your tank!

:lol:
