Considering that I managed to keep a Blue ring alive and happy in a biocube, I think I'll be able to keep a easier species in a 75-90 gallon tank, any recommendations on species. I would like a hardy species.
Most of them are reasonably hardy once established in a proper tank. Just try to get a small/young one with most if not all arms intact. If you read the other journals there are different members keeping different kinds and anyone will be happy to tell you where they got theirs. It will help give you an idea of what kind you would prefer.
Right now it seems that O. hummellinki, O. briareus, and A. aculeatus are regularly available online. Any of those would be fine in a 75-90 gallon tank.
