I'm not sure if they do but I know they have to be between layer 45-62. So make sure your on those layers.

They can't spawn in the Nether with out using ice blocks so that probably applies to The End as well.
And as for spawning between layers 45 - 62, I don't think that's true. I think they'll spawn wherever there's deep enough water.

Try it!

Squids wont spawn unless there's water

I checked the wiki it looks like squids spawn about as often as animals do so it could take a while if they can spawn.

So just make several pits of water deep enough and walk away.

Then come back and check!

okay after hours of testing, made a huge man-made ocean in the End, between layers 62 and 45, no spawning, so im pretty sure they dont spawn in the end, otherwise passive mobs would be running around all over the place

Nothing but endermen spawn in the end.. so nope.

... Well and the Ender Dragon but that can be argued he doesn't spawn in the end but he spawns WITH the end.

The Wiki is a fantastic source of information that's probably 99.9% accurate..

"The End can spawn only Endermen."
