Baby cuttles doing fantastic!
 

Well I little while ago (4 weeks ago) I came across a batch of cuttle fish eggs. I thought I would take the time (and money!) and devote it to hatching them and raising them.
They started hatching about 2 weeks ago and I have been feeding them live pods from my tank and been buying tiggerpods for them. so far I have about 20 hungry little babies.
Well I am VERY HAPPY to say that I finally have them eating frozen food! I have been trying to target feed them arctipods and I finally have them all eating them! Every night I creep up to the tank, about an hour after i turn the lights off, and with an eye dropper I feed the little guys. It takes me about one hour total, that includes scooping any uneaten food out later.

Just wanted to share that!
Wish me luck!:biggrin:

Neat, do you have pics? Do you know what type of cuttlefish they are?

gratz on getting them to eat frozen, that's pretty sweet :)

keri, They are Sepia Bandensis, a dwarf cuttlefish. They only get 4 inches full grown. I am really excited about them.

I want to find another clutch of eggs so that I could try breeding them myself.

I'm just curious if there would be a demand for them or not. Right now I am just raising them for the challenge.

I will try to get some photos tonight, Ill turn a powerhead off so I can take it from above at night with a flash, I should be able to get a decent photograph.

excellent, waiting for the pictues

If you can ship I'd be interested in a couple in the future.

What's their lifespan 1 year?

the short lifespan is the only downside to cuttles.

Would 1 be happy in a 27g long species-only tank? I've always been fascinated by cuttlefish, I'd consider buying one in the future.

I do plan on selling them soon. Its hard to feed this many little mouths. They would be happy in a 27 Gallon Long. THat would be great.
They do only live one year. It is a downside, but imagine the fun you will have in that year.

... Wow, I really want one. How can we make this happen?

Just Pm me with some information about how you plan to keep one and etc. what you think is a fair price etc. :smile:
