Small octopus

[Knife_Punch]

Hello, Ive been reading lately about a lot of small sized octopus, and I have been wanting to get one for awhile, I was wondering if any of you had any experience with octo's and which would be best suited more maybe a 55 or 80 gallon tank?
Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

make sure you have a tight lid. They are great escape artists obviously

Don't expect them to live very long, not your fault, they don't live long wild either.

As far as i know a bimac octopus is best for that size of tank. Bimacs live 1yr or maybe 2yr.

definatly do not go with a bluering for ur first octo get a tank bred bimac through octopets or if your lfs can get them but make sure its tank bred i got my bimac through my work (i work at the lfs) and its cool as hell and perfect for a smaller tank and as long as you have enough liverock and stuff for him to adventure in you should have no problem with him trying to escape. they usually only start to try to escape if theyr bored or very cramped. ive done alot of the research so if you have n e questions feel free to pm me
