octopi are not that hard to keep. they are very specific though pm me if you need info. trust me i know a pretty good amount. we used to keep them at my store.
I still would never suggest one for the privat aquarist. Too many risks.
Sorry to say, but with 14 posts and a comment like "Trust me, we used to keep them at my store" - sounds sketchy. Any more background info to offer other than that?

What risks, Zoodiver?
I've kept O. Bimaculoides. I never had a problem keeping him, and he made a terrific pet. Very intelligent and very fun to watch. Like what has already been said many times, they need good water quality and a tight fitting lid. They are also terrific hunters, so a species tank is necessary. As long as you are careful with how you set up the tank and how you maintain it, you shouldn't have a problem. If you want more answers from experienced cephalopod keepers, check out tonmo.com.
