The distributor for my LFS claims that his tank-raised bimacs can live together. One of the other customers is putting two in a 40-gal tank. I think this is a big mistake, but was curious to hear if anyone else has had success with two in a moderate sized aquarium. The owner of the store has warned this person, but he is determined to go for it.
Also, I am almost certain contamined salt killed my octo Vader. When I did a water change with my fish-only tank I lost 3 of my 7 fish and the remaining 3 barely survived. I took back the salt and exchanged it for another bucket and have had no problems. In fact, after I did another water change with the new mixture; they made a quick recovery. Unfortunately, my LFS sent the suspected salt back to the distributor and so we will never really know for sure.
I will soon be getting another octo and will post his arrival.
