    They are hard to feed/picky.

    Wrong place for this but what would be good for a 38 gal tank for a beginner?

    think small and beautiful, take your time and only pick when you know thats the fish i want to look at for the next few years then look at compatibility for the next fish.

    I really would like an Octopus. They say 50 gal, you think I could get away with it?

    i never had one, i believe they eat fish and other inverts so they may be a stand alone kind of thing,:confused:

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Please do not get an octopus unless you are willing to make a commitment to one.

    They are not like tropical marine fish and inverts.

    The tank needs to be VERY secure and you need to provide intellectual stimulation, this is more like having a pet such as a cat or dog.

    This link is where you go to find everything Cephalopod, please do a lot of research before purchase. :)

    I agree with Corailline this animal is intelligent and smart and needs special attention ....
