I think paying tickets to see your collection is way much more worthwhile than going to the Resort world SEA aquarium!

I concur! really think your tank is much more interesting and fascinating than SEA Aquarium!

Have kept them in the past, rather unsuccessfully :(

Unfortunately, crustaceans and fish are on the menu for them. That's the reason they are mostly displayed in species tanks, and also why the picture with the seahorse was quite surprising.

Yes thinking about it, you are right. But I would also love to have a species tank for this one day!

They have a pretty long lifespan for a Cephalopod.

There are a couple of "deep sea" fish that can be maintained in aquaria. Seen some like

Gephyroberyx japonicus, Chaunax spp., Lophiodes spp., Physiculus japonicus, Careproctus rostrinus, several Helicolenus spp. and more in Japanese public aquariums.

Nothing as outlandish looking as viper/dragon fishes unfortunately.
