But im wondering how many people actually keep strange water/sea creatures?
Yeah definately....they are small and get smaller and as you say the only way to keep them is with less furnishings in the tank keep it minimal, which to me is a shame as its not how they live. But if you want to see them, thats what u need to do.Nah not hard to look after and as for cost, i never paid for any of them. we used to just go and catch them at coochimudlo island, they were abundant there 10-15 years ago. Not sure about now though. As SouthsideMorelia said they love to hide. I learnt that after getting the first one so after that i used to have bits of PVC pipe cut to different lengths on the floor of the tank and that was it. Not very pleasing to the eye but very effective and easy to get the octopus out of without upsetting them too much. I never had any issues with them inking, not even when we caught them (we used nets). i dont think people realise how small they are either.
