well your going to have troble finding a red one bc they can change color whenever they want! if you want it to be red put something red into the tank that it can cling to and camo itself. also of you are just starting out it would be a waste of money, they should only be kept by EXPERTS in a mature, est, non escapable tank. plus they dont live very long

Until I see pics of your blue ringed octopus I refuse to beleive that you actually have them. I am tired of seeing posts that someone has these and no proof to back it up. I am sorry for being so short about this but it is getting quite annoying.

P.S. Octopuses in general should be left in the ocean.

First off is it a digital picture. If so you can go to Photobucket.com and get an account there. Then you can download the photo to your account there. After you have done that then just start a post on here click the little button at the top of the post box that looks like a box with a mountain in it( if you highlight it it says"insert image"). Then copy the picture link from the photobucket account into your post.

Why the heck would anyone ever keep a blue ringed octopus? I see posts about people accidentally getting stung by their lions, imagine a blue ring accident. You would not be around to post about how much it hurt. Wouldn't it be crazy though to be perusing the obituaries and read about someone being killed by their pet octopus?

I second that. No pic means they dont have one.

I would love to actually see one. But I wouldnt want it to be in someones home aquarium. It would be cool if it was in a public aquarium. Still not likely though. I have also read that they only get the blue spots when they feel threatened.
