Re: pet octopuses?
Even still I'd need a double paned tank, and the electrical bill.... It's a couple thousand even used...
I'd love to be able to take home MY little bit of ocean, instead of all this tropical stuff not found around here...

Ah, yeah, believe me, I understand. I wanted to do coldwater at one point. One day!! I want Catalina Gobies!!
That's one thing about marine animals...they don't do well in temperatures outside their normal range. Freshwater is so much more forgiving.
Have you had a marine aquarium before? I will say this...if you haven't, I'd start with tropical simply because there are a lot more captive bred fish and those are the best to start with.

before I got into the marine aquarium hobby I was looking at all the fish I wanted, and they were on the list before I realized they were a cool water species. The only ones I even know of tbh.
