Im interested in keeping an octopus, just wondering if anyone knows much about it. Is it hard to do? what size tank is needed? are there many different types you can keep? anything important that I'd need to know, cheers guys

I've recently kept octopus



Awesome creatures, easy to keep, have a look at some of the earlier posts on 'larry' the occy

i heard they dont live long?

2 years seems to be the number floating around

There's 2 varietys commonly available being the black top occy and the red reef occy. Mine came out at night heaps to have a feed and stayed in his lair during the day which he built up with shells. The red reef occys can fit through tiny holes so a tight lockable lid is a good idea.

they are nice but as riggers has said they are escape artists ,but also great at hunting down a mantis shrimp ......
