@HFLCHARGERS atleast once shes bigger.. as a juvenile, the other fish are fine, and if you keep her full, she could co-exist with other tank mates, but why risk it
-
@HFLCHARGERS no. #1 the other small fish would become food, and #2, 75 gal is the absolute minimum one should be kept in (IMO anyway, some will say 50 is the minimum but that will be a pretty stressed cephalopod). they like to move.
-
do you think that would fit in a 55 gallon tank with other small fish?
-
She looks so tasty!!!
But in all seriousness what an amazing looking pet, I would love to have one but would need a tank 10x the size to justify it.
-
How hard is it to keep an octopus i was thinking about getting one.
-
@cynthx that 75g tank doesnt even allow her to swim at any great length either. Id guess it that the tank is probably 3/4times too small.

There is something about watching an octopus with La Roux blasting in the background that is absolutely hilarious

The Octopus and the Beer Bottleby margaret104782,991 views
She's very beautiful. However, I don't believe in keeping cephalapods at pets. Octopus are very intelligent creatures. She is probably very aware that she is in a box from the way she feels her way around the walls of the tank. These creatures are beautiful and majestic, and even though I would love to have one in my company, I could not bring myself to hold one in captivity knowing that it would flourish in the ocean.

an octopus is an amazing creature and I can understand why someone would want one as a pet. however, they are an animal that is simply better off left in nature.
