Anybody have experience with pygmy octopuses such a joubini or mercatoris? Iv'e been interested in getting one, but haven't found very much info on them. I discovered that I could get one at either Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratories or caribbeancreatures.com I know they don't live long (6 months). Do they act very lively, or are they reclusive? Would it be possible to keep one in a 2.5 gallon or a 5 gallon (their mantle is only 2cm.)? Can you feed them krill supplemented with ghost shrimp, snails? Finally are these little guys very enjoyable or do they generally make lousy pets. I'm debating with myself to either keep a pygmy octopus in a small tank or pygmy seahorses. (what opposites- the predator, or the sissiest fish ever!)
