Squids in a tank?

[harlequin]

I was curious about these guys with spring here and all and knowing they are relatively easy to catch, how would one do in an aquarium? Pretty sure it would have to go in the refugium so it doesnt kill off my fish. I know people keep octopi so what about squid?

Yeah very easy to catch ,but in my opinion very difficult to keep alive on the way home. Besides the chance of them inking your tank probably too risky to take.

I was cuious if anyone has ever had a cuttlefish. Theyre cool little buggers!

squid do not do well in tanks also if you were to keep 1 it would have to be in a rounded tank because it would hurt itself swiming into the corners

I love the angler vid! I could have used it yesterday to catch my damnsels instead of yanking all the rock out of my tank.
