Within the next two months I’m going to be setting my new reef tank and i plan on moving all of the fish out of my 14 gallon nano into the bigger one. I was thinking
about trying either octopus or cuddlefish as I’ve always been interested, but I’m not 100% sure. It would be a good time as the tank will be completely empty. It’s really down too three things... are there any common species that can be kept in such a small tank? I’ve seen many octopi labeled as dwarf, same with cuddlefish. Are they super hard to feed? I’m fine with feeding some live shrimp for a while, maybe not forever. Also, are they really expensive or can they be found in the 30-60 dollar range? I think this would just be an interesting thing to try if it’s possible, they don’t live long so if I don’t end up enjoying it I won’t have to care for them for a long time. This is just kind of been a thought of mine, I’m not intent on it though.
