So, I really want an octopus. But of course I'm worried about some things, and I have daubts, well, if someone could help me I'd be greatful.
- First of all is which octopus should I get. I mean, it can't either too small or too big. I really like the O. briareus but I'm not sure if they get too big. I'm fine with the size but I'm 16 and I don't know if my parents agree.
- The aquarium. My dad told me that a 10 gal aquarium is huge, really really big. And I don't know if it should be 10 gal or bigger, but I want to buy a good one so my octopus will be happy. It may be silly, but I've never had fishes so I know nothing about it, I onnly know that it should mature for 3 months. But is it ok to put random fishes in it or should I just leave it empty only with water?
- In case we stay without eletricity for a few hours, would the octopus be ok? it can happen to everyone, it could rain or natural disaster (although we don't have it here) or some random problem. What should I do and if I want to play with the octopus out of the aquarium, is it possible or how long could I be playing with it?
- The last thing would be changing the water. Should I simply grab the octopus or use something? And where do I put it while I do all this stuff?
So yeah I learned a lot already just by reading lots of topics here, and I'm really happy. So that's it, I hope what I wrote is not annoying because I'm wondering too much and lol that's it (:
