Hi i'm new here,
I really want to know about the conditions and the requirements for having a nautilus as a pet. How big should the tank be? What equipments for the tank do I have to buy? I only heard recently that you can keep them as a domestic pet. I was surprise and happy because I always have been so interested in having a saltwater tank and keeping either a squid or an octopus but I never really imagine that you can keep a nautilus which is probably one of my favourite animals.
The guy who told me about having a nautilus said that he used to have one and he kept his in a saltwater pond (almost like a small ocean) which is outdoor with a roof to cover the pond from rain. I heard from my friend that it is very succesful to keep them in this condition. (Oh and i'm from Thailand so the temperature is tropical and is perfect for these species from the sea.)While having a nautilus in the pond he used something called a chiller.
I am so passionate about this and I really really want to keep one but I know that these requires many things and I have been searching on the internet for over a week looking for websites that could help me but there were none...
I really really hope someone here could help me.
I don't want to buy them out of just exitement and for the reason of just wanting it. I do scuba diving and I love the ocean and I really want to see the nautilus die because I did something wrong....
Please help me
Thank you
