Whatelse can be kept with a Oct

[Nancy]

Octos and fish generally don't work well together. Fish tend to bother the octo - we've even had reports of damsels going after the octo's eyes. They can also make your octo stay in hiding more. When your octo grows larger, the fish can become a meal. Of course, there are exceptions, but more people have trouble with the combination than not.

Also, avoid the urchin with sharp spines. You don't want any injury to your octopus. The pencil urchin is fine.

Just don't get anything that looks like a slug..( Sea hares and nudibraches) They are just plain yuk...( At least I think so.)

A octo-fish combination I saw at rotterdam zoo which seemed to work just fine

octopus dofleini (yes, the giant pacific octopus) kept together with a pair of garibaldi.

too bad the octo has pasted away a while ago. it was already adult when they got it and they had him/her a little less then a year I think.
