By Sean Donahue
Intro
Can you imagine waking up and looking at you hands, and there are tentacles? Octopi are amazing creatures. Their habitat, appearance, and diet are the most important to a octopus's life. This is why the Octopus family is still alive and not endangered.
Habitat
Their habitat is the main thing in the octopus life and it is the reason their safe and living. The octopi live in the tropical, warm waters and the sub-tropical waters.They are mainly found in the Mediterranean, east Asia, and the great barrier reef. If there is a gap in between two corral they will hid there. They also camouflage with the coral. So, when I went to Bermuda, I saw an octopus hid just like that.
Diet
Octopus’s diet varies a lot from chomping on big creatures to nibbling on small. Usually, this eight arms creatures eat small things like plankton, crabs, lobster, and fish. Then, some octopus are willing to eat any type of shark. Finally,they eat their food by dropping down on their prey, then stick their tentacles on them, and pull their prey to their mouths.
Appearance
The appearance, and special features of a octopus are REAllY important. The octopus is 24-36in long. It is also 6-22 lbs. Those sizes are like a newborn and a one year old. Octopi have ink to help get away from the preatures. In fact, only 5/10 times it works, it has a 50/50 %chances. Octopus only live up to 1-2 years. Female octopi lay 100,000-500,000 eggs at one time, only 1 or 2 live.

Go Fish
This is a problem to buy things to start a fish tank.
For my go fish I had a budget of $250 for a tank, filter, filter cartridges, and decoration with gravel and fish. For fish I got a Niger trigger, three Domino damsel,two Strawberry dottyback, and a Dragon wrath. I came up to $242. I saved only $8. It was worth it, I did take off 4 types of fish.
