Sorry if this is in the wrong place, (im new).
I've been looking into keeping an octopus and this sites definately the best one around, but how come there don't seem to be any squid keepers? I would have presumed a squid to be a fascinating pet, so Im geussing there's a problem with keeping them?
I'm undecided which I would prefere to keep, but would like to give the squid a try. Ive seen seen baby squid (6cm long) caught in a light trap and the colour changing is amazing to watch.
Also, has anyone kept and octopus maroum? What other species of octopus would be easy to get here in New Zealand?
And would and NZ octopus tolerate room temperature water or would they need a refridgeration system to keep the temp at ~12C?
Im trying to sus out what I need, and I might build a chiller if ones required.
Thanks for any help
