hi all,

im seriously very new to marine animals.

and as i was at pasir ris today, i saw a shop selling a octupus that i am interested in raring one.

can i have some advice on what i need and the average cost to rare one?

i intend to put in my office desk so a small tank would be good enough.

thanks

Best thing to do is to read the facts in the internet. Some facts for you to consider is that they live for only 2 years or so, usually less. The tank need to be sealed at night as they are known to be an escape artist, you might not find them in the tank the next day. They are very strong and are intelligent and can squeeze through holes you thought might be impossible. Crabs are their main diet and they ate a few in a sitting, this will determine your feeding budget. You need a strong skimmer to remove the black ink they gives off when they are frightened. And they do bite.

Saw the ones at Ah Beng shop yesterday.

It might cost the same as a regular marine tank setup. A 2ft cube tank, a strong skimmer eg Reef Octopus 2000, a return pump eg Eheim 1260, a chiller probably a 1/5 max and lighting. No over flow compartment in the tank as they might squeeze into that area.
