Hi, i always have this facination with wierd/cute sea creatures like octopus and puffers.And i plan to set up a budget live rocks only tank.

And recently i saw a fellow bro selling an octopus and wondering if its hard to keep an octopus.(i've never kept marine fishes btw)

1stly, issit legal?

what are the requirements of it? like tank size and stuff like that.

is an octopus expensive?

how large can it grow to?

can it be kept with other fish mates?

if yes...can i keep a puffer or boxfish with it?

well any octopus will do as long as they dont grow big..do they come small?

what are the minimum tank requirements(size or other special requiremtns) for one of em?

[SpiderOne]

get them as small as u can. their lifespan is around a year.

[BRUCETHESHARK]

what size tank would they require?

can they be mixed with other fishes?

i love puffers...wana add a puffer in too...

Your puffer will be eaten. Or your octopus will be eaten.

If the puffer gets eaten, the octopus will die.

If the octopus gets eaten, the puffer will gain weight.
