DeadFishFloating Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 most pet stores that can order from cairns marine can prob order 1 in for you. But you would likely need to pay for it in advance AND pick it up on the day. Not many lfs with a whole tank free for an octopus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bidkev Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Keep in mind that even a large occy can fit through a keyhole. Any gaps for airlines etc and you will lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFishFloating Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 How long has your marine tank been setup for? You need it mature NOT JUST CYCLED before you need to go looking for a source for an octopus. they are not always available depends on the collectors but they show up frequent enough on lists.
