That has GOT to be the COOLEST thing I have ever seen. How big of a tank? LOOKING INCREDIBLE! I hate naming fish...I am bad at it. Ha!

I guess I should have mentioned this from the beginning, but all our other pets have regular people names. Our dogs are Jake & Chase. Our cats are Pete, Steve, Madeline. And so on.
I'm leaning toward Otto right now. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

hey, what size tank do you have and did you get him from online? If you got him from online please email me at onecoolfishboy@yahoo.com Could i keep one in a 15-20gal tank? I'm think about getting a dragon moray eel or a octo for my birthday present. What type of filtration do i need? Could i put some macro algae in the tank with the octo? What filtration do you have on it? Thanks

From my research, the smallest recommended size is a 20 gallon. I went bigger to be safe.

Octos are very messy eaters. I'm running a Fluval 304 (rated for tanks up to 70 gallons. Ideally you'd want to also run a protein skimmer. I couldn't figure out a way to do that and keep the tank perfectly sealed, so I'm opting to do very frequent water changes instead.

I don't see why not. Everything I read indicated that octos are reef safe, but they will eat almost any invert or fish that you house with them.
