alright i too have been watching this thread now for a while and im irritated slightly also so im going to add to this bashing
first of all every octo has its own personality... the ones you got just lack a personality and hide its not thier fault so dont bash all octos because of it and if you had done enough research you would have found before you got them that octos hide for most of their lives and usually only come out in the wild to eat breed and find a new home. not to play with people... second... if you want something that is always in front of you begging for food try a dog... reef tank... fowler tank... birds... turtles... but for gods sake dont try a ceph... they are slightly different. they have other things to do in their free time than beg you for food and try to please you. third. the reason aquariums were invented in the first place was to study specimens and learn about them not to be entertained... yes we do like the enjoyment of them but if you think about it the only reason we keep them is due to a facination with them and we want to study them to learn more about them so instead of complaining about bordem learn from your octos and then use those teachings for the next time you pick a pet so you know what you want. and last if your asking people about wether or not you should try cuttles dont sit there and bash octos first because more than likely everyone here who has cuttles now also had or has octos because they are facinated by them also and complaining about octos behaviors isnt going to win them over.
ok im done now... sorry for that just had to get it out...
