Cuttlefish & Octo curiosity

Wow Gary, opened that one right up for comment.
;)
I think I'll just leave it there though, just in case the wife is looking on. :o

Yea, I almost commented to that....

Similar to what the other guys have said, octopi are extreme escape artisits. I have been told that if you run a ring of velcro around the top of your tank this will help keep them in.

The velcro should have it's own adhesive on the back, you only need one side, I believe it is the "hook" side.

Also, make sure this is the ONLY fish in the tank, anything else won't last for long!

I have thought about setting up a cuttle fish tank myself, I would be curious how your experience goes.

A chambered nautilus would be cool too. I-10 aquarium used to have one.

I would like to have a chambered nautilus tank, except for the cold water thing. They are really nice critters.

But octopera (my preference for the plural, for no good reason) are nice too. They are really intelligent. About as smart as a dog I hear, and way smarter than cats. Someone at some research school somewhrer trained them to open ball jars. And they got really excited when you screwed the lids on too tight. Flashed all their colors as they tried their best to open them.
