I agree with the knowing it's gonna die thought. If this is the case, I would certainly not support the market by purchasing one. If you do get it, I hope it does well and you live to tell about it, or at least till you can post pics!

All animals (and people die) they, like some killies just have very short life spans, even the Pacific giant octopus only lives 3-5 years. The only exception I can think of is the chambered nautilis that can live for 20.
Apperently I have been told that they are amazing escape artests and can squeeze through a crack the WIDTH of a dime. I would hate to stumble across that and have it kill me just when I came to say hello!
True that Blue rings are NOT for Newbs... I had one for 1.5 yrs... great, f'in smart pet!! However they can kill you, and only show off t\their cool colors when threatened, pissed, or ready to strike. I usually had to provoke it to color up for me. Stick with common octo's... you'll have the best luck with those to start off.
Because some experts claim they are at least as smart as cats. I wouldn't keep an animal that intelligent in a cage or tank, regardless of how long they live. That's just me though. Anyway, if they can live longer in the wild and can't be captive bred, how is it not cruel to keep them?
a 30 g would probly be good for a blue ring but excellent water quailty is a must and make sure that there is no way to for it to get out if u can get a pencil thru a hole then it could fit
