Well, there are three plurals of octopus.The technicality is that it's circumstantial. Octopi is the plural if the individuals are of the same species of octopus. Octopuses refers to individuals of multiple species. The same goes for fish and fishes.
English is just dumb.Well, there are three plurals of octopus.
Octopi, which stems from the idea that Latin words should have Latin endings. Even though octopus is a Greek word, though Latinized.
Octopuses, which stems from the idea that English words should have English endings.
Octopodes, which stems from the idea that Greek words should have Greek endings.

English is just multiple languages in a trench coat pretending to be one.Why is the plural of "goose," "geese," but the plural of "moose," is "moose"?
Also, why is the plural of "box," "boxes," but the plural of "ox," is "oxen"?
****ing hell English, you're drunk.
