Hello everyone!
I got an octopus (my second) that only had 3 legs and did well for 10 days or so, then I got him a live fish because he was doing so well and eating everything in the tank. of course I thought he'd eat him too, but he died about 4 days later.
I'm very sad and have been waiting for this stupid little fish to die. Can I put another octopus in there now that the fish has been in there for a long time and the initial stress would not make the water change as much??? Why (aside from the fish being eaten) can you not have a fish in with an octopus?
Obviouly I thought the fish would be eaten! It's one of those little blue ones....I can't think of what they're called right now, but they are cheap and they sell them to saltwater tank begginers.
I know I could return him, but am still wondering the reasoning behind not having a fish in there when you initially put an octopus in the tank. I clearly learned why to not ADD one.
Thanks!
