      Probably not unless you’re happy with it staying at the bottom of the ocean. They’re very specially adapted to live in complete blackness and under huge amounts of pressure from all of the water above them. Also, nearly all deep sea creature eat FLESH because there’s no sunlight at the bottom of the ocean for plants to grow and so they’re pretty terrifying things to want as pets.
