Ok, so in about year+ I am intending on aquiring my first octopi pet, and for several months have been floating around on sites and gathering information to have an idea what to prepare for.
First thing I read up on was most of the commonly kept species pros and cons and decided on one of the following species, o. cyanea or o. vulgaris, but probably leaning to vulgaris for avaliability reasons.
Either one require a big tank, the smallest I saw for a vulgaris was 120-150g and not sure about cyanea, although it's bigger so do the math. Wanting to end up with a very happy octopus I plan on having something like a 180-220g tank, the only problem is...given 3 dimensions, there are a lot of possible combinations to achieve the desired size.
So some input on what height, length, and width make for a happy octopi.
I plan on more then taking my time and doing the appropriate research as I move on to the next step so on and so forth.
Thanks
