pet octopuses?

[RandyRhoads]

If you read I said a giant pacific aka Enteroctopus dofleini

A search showed some info. Preferred temp under 60. But I wonder if it could tolerate 65.

Ah, yeah, not sure why I thought you meant common.

Their optimal temperature, according to research, is 50 F and below...so I'd think 65 would be quite detrimental.

edit: This is based on scientific journals, by the way. People have kept them around 55-60 but even that is considered a bit warm for the species.
