Octos.

Cartman89 · 02-12-2007, 06:14 PM

I know its too soon for my question...WAY to soon but I feel like asking. Are there any octos suitable for a 10-15gal tank? I know a blue ring is but where do they sell them??

boozeman · 02-12-2007, 06:25 PM

those are poisonous

saltwaterfarm · 02-12-2007, 06:27 PM

and, practically impossible to keep inside a tank...

aquaman3680 · 02-12-2007, 06:42 PM

Yeah i really would not recommend a octo. They are just hard to take care of in general and need colder water to thrive.

Well I'm going to college next year and the minimum tank can be a 15gal. And I MUST get my hands on a octo if one can be okay in that size of tank. But it's too early now to make up my mind

Dont get an Octo until you are at least a junior. Octos are great at quarters!!!! It will drink you under the table and you will flunk outta school! Everybody knows that!!!!

my LFS has blue ring in a small tank like that,. it is amazing looking, but will kill you

lcstorc · 02-12-2007, 08:16 PM

Too scary for me.

The thing is, even a small species of octopus should not be kept in a small tank, in my opinion. They are highly intelligent animals that will suffer when kept in confined quarters.

The blue rings are also short lived, especially for the price.

not to mention, i think, they spend most of their time figuring out how to get out, and they usually find away out. i also hear each arm has a brain of there own, its just too wierd i tell ya.

Snelly40 · 02-13-2007, 05:01 PM

that is weird, my LFS has a locking top with two locks on it, no one gets in or out unless the manager is cleaning the tank. im out on that thing

BrothaWolf · 02-13-2007, 05:49 PM

You'll be sorry when it gets out and steals your underpants!!!!
