Filtration for Octopus

What would be the best octopus for a 35 gallon tank? Is there any that are more active in the day that could go in that tank? Thanks

I would recommend a Bimac.You can get tank raised specimens and they are very active.

There is some very, VERY good detail and information on keeping octopus in the aquarium in this month's CORAL MAGAZINE if you can find it, I'd advise you get it. I'd also advise you to get a Bimac Octopus if you can. They seem to be the best and most entertaining for aquariums.

That page had some good pictures and facts about octopuses. Do the octopuses just suck the crab up or do they have teeth. Do you think a octopus will bight you if you held food in your hand? Thanks for th article and i'll check at my lfs for the magazine.

Do you have to have a skimmer for a octopus tank?
