Hello everyone...
I just joined tonmo.com today and I am interested in hearing advice from some of you!
First off, I am interested in getting a PYGMY octopus, and from what I understand, I need to be looking for an Atlantic Pygmy Octopus (Octopus joubini) rather than getting a baby octopus.
A couple of questions I have are:
What is the BEST sized tank for an octopus of this size?
I've been looking at Biorb tanks that are spherical or globe shaped. Would this be ok for a pygmy?
Does anyone have any good resources for where to buy actual pygmies and not just babies? I have looked over the site thoroughly, but a lot of the posts I've found related to my questions are older, so I just wanted to hear some current opinions on the best sources to buy from.
Also, what, if any, compatible marine life is there for this species? I know they eat just about everything, but what about urchins, puffers, starfish, and anemones?
Any advice for a first-timer would be greatly appreciated!
I look forward to chatting with all of you!
