Hello im new and want to keep an octo. Whats the minimum tank size for an octo :?

 

[neptune]

Welcome to Tonmo,
Depends entirely on species, as their size varies greatly, but generally a 50-55 g would work for a bimac.

Do you have any aquariums?

Hope you'll have a great time here

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
Well yeah I do have a 55gal,but I have fish and inverts in it.
Could I keap an octo with all of them in the same tank?

 

[Burstsovenergy24]

Well no not really. Either the octo would eat the fish or the fish might eat the octo. What exactly do you have in there?

 

[KalihiBoy]

I got a blue throat triggerfish,a potters angelfish,4 frilled gobies,a blennie,a long nose buterfly,3 sea urchins,4-5 brittle stars,2 hermits,a rock crab and 2 cowries.

I live in HAWAII,and some people I know cought there own octo's from the beach. Got any comments

As long as its legal then fine.. most species outwith Octopus bimaculoides are wild caught... maybe you'll get lucky and catch an Octopus cyanea???

that's a definite 'no' to the fish mixing by the way

 

[KalihiBoy]
