One of the most majestic and fascinating creatures of the sea, also one of the hardest to keep. There is way to much to discuss here, but basically you need to be willing to devote yourself to keeping an octopus by satisfying every one of its needs. If you are not an experienced aquarist yet, then forget it. Even if in a perfect environment, remember its natural life span is only 1-2 years. |

The Cyanea Octopus (Octopus cyanea) is sometimes called a Common Octopus. It belongs to the family named Octopodidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 30.0 inches in length, the Cyanea Octopus is aggressive in nature and risky in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unlikely and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Octopus cyanea in general should have low (2 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a species only tank, a well established aquarium, high water quality, extra substrate area, rockwork structure, plenty of hiding spaces, a low water current, a specialized aquarium, and tank should be located in low traffic area.
