[Delphinus]

You ask for advice, you get advice. Sometimes the answer isn't what you want to hear, doesn't make it condescending.

If you go for it, I wish you the best of luck with it. Heck, please post pictures, they're beautiful. But understand that this is a really silly way to underwrite such a huge risk to yourself. It's one thing to take upon the risk yourself but what of to those who visit you or live with you?

I don't see how the care of one would be any different than for any other octopus species. Just don't touch it I guess. I still don't understand the appeal, but, whatever.
