Since you are in Chicago, that may be hard for you to get one since there are no native US cuttlefish, but Sepia bandensis is commonly imported to the US but usually ink themselves and die. Righty is in the middle of breeding the little guys and Octopets should have some Sepia officialences this summer, but you'll need a 200+ gallon tank for that. :)
