blue ring

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My lfs had one too, it escaped a nano tank, but they found it on the floor. It will be at your own risk raising that octopus. i wouldnt even get near it.
 
i would love one but no deadly poisonous creatures in the house with the new baby on the way atleast thats my girls rule... well even if there wasnt a baby on the way that would be the rule she doesnt like things that can kill ya i had to get rid of my rattler for her and i almost ordered a gaboon viper but she said that she wouldnt live on the same block if i did
 
Just as a side note, every spp of octopus carry venom. Most are very mild. However, with the blue ring, you'd be dead about the same time you made a mistake.
 
dont get it they are not worth the risk get another smaller species of oct
 
im gonna start out bye cayching my own comman octo at the beach when i go.
 
My LFS gets them in by accident now and then, and he won't even sell them to people anymore. Some LFS's get them in, and don't even know they are dangerous. No joking, I actually saw one guy net a blue ring, and with his bare hands grab it and throw it into the bag. I almost freaked at him.

I would love to get one too, as they are beautiful cephalopods, but too poisonous, and WAY too short lived (6 months average for a blue ring - correct me if I am wrong?).

You may want to try your hand at a cuttlefish instead of an octopus. If you have the tank space, they are definitely cool pets to keep. Waiting for mine as we speak :)
 
I was gonna get one but octos in general are smart and great at escaping(they have no bones and can get out of the smallest holes) and i kept thinking "what if it gets out at night then i get up to piss and step on it?" shortly after i decided agenst.
 
There was a show on the Discovery channel about the blue ring octo. it was VERY cool.. I think it is the ultimate monster to have.. but a little to dangerous for me according to the discovery channel they say that the poison in this octo is 10,000 times more potent than cyanide!
