I'll try to make this short if I can. I was in the hobby for several years and was pretty successful with a 220 reef aquarium. Life got busy with having kids and couldn't keep up with the tank financially and time wise so I sold it about 12 years ago.
Now I have a 7 year old little boy that is obsessed with animals in general but most specifically with the ocean. His birthday is tomorrow and he's been asking for a 29 gallon fish tank. We decided to get him one and start him with fresh water.
However, he was reading me a book the other day and it had a blue ringed octopus in it. I remember some years ago seeing one at a pet store, so I was wondering if it is possible to keep one in an aquarium or if there's another small type of octopus that could be kept. How difficult would it be? What type of filtration, etc. etc.
Thanks,
Kory
