    Most of the octopus and squid has a life span of 2 years in the wild and lesser in captivity. If you can purchase one, chances are you have only a few months until it dies of old age.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

    Yes indeed. For that matter, there are no squids known to have been successfully kept in home aquaria. Octopus are the easiest to manage, and cuttlefish follows. Both of which live terribly short live spans with terribly expensive needs, it seems sort of pointless to keep either, though that is up to personal decision. Do note that the classic best for home aquaria cephalapods are not cheap.

    I ever net a small squid. But it did not even survive when I it in the water in a small container for about a hour. It is very difficult to keep them living.

    I saw octopus being sold at Wong Loy kee. It is quite an interesting creature.
