    They move very quickly. They tend to quickly kill themselves by bumping their heads into aquarium walls.

    If they don’t die from bleeding, trauma, or infection, or stress, they tend to die pretty quickly from asphyxiation. As whenever they bump into the wall, they get suprised, and spray ink. In an aquarium, the ink stagnates and blocks them from breathing properly.

            Hahhaha. Cephs are so weird and interesting. I was only an intern and didn’t end up going far into biology, but it was certainly fascinating.

            I want to keep a pet octopus bimaculous once I have the money.
