octopus help

[clown316]

I know there is some type of small octopus that will fit in my tank... but im not sure what they are called? dwarf octopus maybe ? well i have a 29 gallon biocube.... and it would be just the octopus... any thoughts/ suggestions?... i will eventually upgrade the tank when he grows... and i know thay dont live for a very long time... any other information would be great as well :joy:

well joubini octopi (aka dwarf octos) need a tight lid, pristine water. they only live 6 mos to a year in perfect conditions

o. Mercatoris and O. joubini are the more common pygmy octo's. I plan on getting a Joubini soon. Google octopus care and it should be the first site. Plenty of info.

Oh and if you upgrade get a Bimac. They are easy to come by and have more personality than the dwarves. They are also more likely to come out during the day.

what size tank is needed for a bimac?
how long do they live for?
