Octo

I have been waiting for over 2 years for an octo to come in. Today it did....problem is I took my tank down a while ago as I essentially lost hope. Tank is sold now All I have right now cycled is a 6 gallon jbj with some corals. How long will I have to upgrade. it is very tiny right now, probably an inch at the body.

Supposively a bimac however can't be sure.

I already bought octopus so please no flaming.

A 6 gallon is no place for a smart animal like an octopus.. I would try to get atleast a 75 gallon ASAP . If he inks in the 6 gallon , he will die.

If it is a bimac something like a 55 or a 75 is a good idea. It'll take a number of months to need that size of a tank, but even if he's only an inch long now he NEEDS to get into a bigger tank ASAP, maybe a 30 or a 40 while the big tank is cycling.
