When I am rich, or have married a sugar daddy, I will have one as a pet. I cannot afford a salt water tank right now.

Aren't they just beautiful?
They are! Such amazing animals, and quite intelligent. I've always wanted one as a pet too, but apparently they have a very short life-span (1-2 years for small ones, maybe 5 years for Giant Octopus), and often die just from the stress of being transported. Poor things... My boyfriend works at a fish store, and every time they get a new octopus, it dies within days.
I'll go scuba-diving one day... see these beauties in their natural environment.
