Hi all
I am very interested in keeping an octo, but hav never keep marine fish before.
I have read all the care forums on this site aswell as from other sites as to give me all the information I need to keep my octo in the best and healthiest condition possible.
I dont want to rush into getting all the equipment then buying an octo without knowing what is required from me as a keeper. I need to know how much time i need to spend each day or week on cleaning the tank , feeding and general care of my octo.
I have been to my LFS as to get even more information about octos and tanks, he has said that I need to set aside £500 to get a complete set-up for me to keep an in a healthy enviroment.
They also get bimacs in on a regular basis, and sell them for £30.
As I have not kept marine fish, I am going to keep some for about 6-12 months as for me to get accustomed to water changes, and for the up keep of a marine tank.
any info/advice about keeping octos and tank sizes and set-ups will be much apreciated.
Many thanks Dave
