This episode is a deep dive into cephalopods and how they may (or may not) fit into aquariums. Charles and the Water Colors Team discuss a variety of species, including cuttlefish, octopods, and more! These organisms are often thought of for their remarkable intelligence and ability to problem solve. This same intelligence can also make them challenging to keep in captivity. Many cephalopods have extremely short lifespans, which adds to the challenge of keeping them as pets. Join us as we learn about some of the most fascinating organisms in our oceans!
