Hi @Octo-lover, welcome to the community! Desperation and cephalopod ownership do not mix well... Do you own a tank / what is your experience in saltwater aquarium care?

 

[Octo-lover]

I do not have experience with saltwater but I know a lot about cephalopods

 

[Octo-lover]

we do have a small tank but it is currently being used by my terrarium

Found a tank on amazon but it’s not 30 gallons

Is This ok for an octopus?

Respectfully - based on your questions and comments, you are not ready to keep an octopus -- but you're in the right place to learn. Have a read through our Cephalopod Journals forum, and Octopus Care. Also try our Search feature for more research.

Maybe consider starting with a reef tank (live rock) and see how you like it. If you're serious about keeping an octopus in the future, you should consider a 55 gallon tank or more. Good luck on your research!
