ya that would be a good home for a pygmy octopus but I recomend getting a 55 gallon and getting a bimac much more friendly

Really you shouldn’t be looking for the minimum for an octopus they are very smart <they can actually get to now who you are and that it is in a tank. They are so smart they use tools to hunt. <some that is.> you should be looking for the best not the minimum. if you get a bimac for a 30 gallon you will need better and more expensive equipment. it all averages out. Just think if that octopus were you and you will feel a lot worse about minimum.

We used to reccomend 30 gal as a minimum for bimacs, but some people found that these tanks were pretty cramped for a full grown one.

Not to mention there are some bimacs which grow larger that te stated size. So we decided that 55gal should be the new minimum. That way, your bimac will have more space to explore and jet around wiithout hitting the decor.
