    I saw it. I had one yrs ago but had to return it b/c he was eating every fish I had. But I've been dieing to set up a tank just with an octopus for a long time. I love those creatures, they are so smart, They remind me of me;D

    You and me both. But I found a way to get one thou. I wait until she falls dead asleep and I start talking to her that we should get another tank for the octopus. Kinda like brain washing.;D

    Reminds me of when I was a kid. In Carlsbad, CA(San Diego) you could go to the lagoon at low tide and turn-over big rocks and catch them. I'd love to have an octopus tank again.

    fun fun fun. an aquarist at the montery bay aq. shared a story with me about a specimen they had which mastered the lid of his aquarium for the purpose of grabbing his own food after the staff had left for the day. The food was in another room, down the hall. frighteningly smart creatures.
