Can you have an octupus as a pet?
 

well, can you?

Someone suggested I should get a big octopus and put in my aquarium with the big eyeball right in the front.

yes you sure can my buddys got a small one

haha these little guys rock!

get an octopus, and put it in your aquarium together with a few piranha... and install a live webcam and post the link on GFY

not even sure somethings gonna happen, dont piranhas just go for blood?

Yeah you can, my cousin has one. You have to be really careful though, they are extremely intelligent and are quite vendictive from what he tells me. :uhoh :1orglaugh

Octopus are very cool and a lot of fun to watch. They are notorious escape artists and and will crawl out of anything that is not properly secured. An octopus is very soft and the only thing hard on it is it's beak which it uses to crush shells to eat. It's the size of it's beak that determines how big a space it needs to escape. The rest of it's body it can flatten or contort to get through the hole. Rats are the same as only the size of there skull detemines the size of the hole they can get through.

Octopus are extremely smart and in the right enclosure would make a fascinating and entertaining pet. Research more about them as there is lots to know before having one.

It's not easy, but it's not impossible either.

Octopus aquarium

Pet, no. Dinner, yes.

why would you want one?

sounds interesting but i'd rather have them on the plate...

yup, they had one in the movie octopussy

I think piranha live in fresh water whereas octopus in salt water. But I get your idea :upsidedow

Octopi are so sexy, that?s why. Look how sensual those tentacles are, how they wrap around everything with such finesse. Man, I just totally got off thinking about an octopus not five minutes ago.
