    I know octopus proofing a tank is a pretty serious endeavour and requires you to cover the smallest of openings but I couldn't imagine octopus proofing a tank for these guys, I mean look at how small they are. Yes, the one pictured is just a baby but the adults only get to 25mm max :eek:!

    The rest of the article is a great read and very interesting too. Captively breeding an octopus would be great.

    If you're truly interested in having an octopus, try tonmo.com. Tons of info there.
    You could also just go look & see how tanks are octo proofed even for the tiny LOL.

    hahah how could you even see them in a 150g tank you would need like a 5g tank just so it will not take you 30mins to find it.
