I just recently found out that you can actually have an octopus as a pet! lol i had no idea but now i want one!
after about 3 years of wanting a seahorse I finally got a job and bought myself a 29gallon tank (i dont have much space in my room for anything bigger) there was a post about keeping seahorses with octopus which stated that certian types of fully grown octopus and fully grown seahorses will get along. ill assume the only ones that would get along will be very small octopus. thats good all i want is a small one because my tank is small aswell, but whats the name of it?? and would it be ok in a 29 gallon tank?
i dont want to overly fill my tank with plants and rock because that leaves less room for the inhabitants (ill get a little cave or something if i get an octopus) right now i have only about 2 lbs of live rock and a little treasure chest cave thing. i am in the process of cycling the tank.
this is all i want for the 29 gallon tank
-a seahorse
-a clown fish
-a starfish
-an octopus
seems like alot to me, but a clownfish and the starfish are small. and i dont plan on cluttering my tank with unnessesary rock and stuff anyway i would like to know if a mini octopus would bother any of these. and if there is such thing as a docile mini octo.
thanks
