I think I'll go for it though...what special care do they require, other than a lack of tank mates?

 

[Swimzebras]

Can I feed them store bought shrimp once they get bigger?

Sepia bandensis: husbandry and breeding

Have you looked at Tonmo yet? I know it was suggested. All your questions are answered there.

 

[Swimzebras]

Yea, just can't navigate well

Urgh I've been reading about senesence....and I think it'd be too depressing 

It's unfortunately a fact of life with cuttles and octos. That's partly why not many people keep them, harder to care for and they don't live anywhere near as long as most fish in aquaria.

There was a guy on youtube with an octo (bimac or vulgaris, I don't remember) and he had some videos of it, very interesting, and he had a video of it near the end of it's life. Completely white and barely moving, very hard to watch.

 

[Swimzebras]

Yea.....maybe I'll start with some fish and get one once they all die

 

[iDream]

If cared for properly that could be several years, almost a decade

 

[Swimzebras]

True......perhaps I'll sell em eventually

Or just set up a 30 tall tank 
