Some people think they do little dances on the glass - or something that looks like a dance.

Are you keeping an octopus? You didn't mention that before.

Sounds like when they shed the disks off their suckers :)

Yes, that's one activity that might look like dancing.

The other is when they move horizontally across the glass, in an almost rhythmic way. My bimac Ollie did that, and if I'd put my hand in, she'd lightly touch it with just one arm each time she passed by. She seemed to be having a good time and could do this for a long time without getting tired - back and forth, touch the hand.

If you haven't seen this, it might give you some additional discouragement points:

It sounds like you've looked into it pretty well already, though!
