yeah its a day old and the hikari mysis was a little too big for it. so I'm going to go get some arctic pods from OA today and feed that to him. I think he will appreciate that more.
It was pretty cool to watch it change colors several times as I was taking photos. it would flash into a burgandy red color and back to white on and off.

The adult we have right night is such a amazing creature and has become quite a attraction for anyone who comes into the store,but by the way it acts i don't think it it likes me very much even though i feed the little guy all the time ,i was going to try and order more eggs hopefully they will be in within a few weeks.

Looks like it might be Sepia bandensis - good news if it is as they get to a maximum of 3-4". I had one for 8-9 months before - it was not a juvenile when I bought it, and yours is a baby so you can expect a longer term with it. Just wait until it gets a little bigger so you can better see it change shape and colour it is amazing to see. There's not a ton of info on keeping these guys (try TONMO), but advice I would give you is to not feed any fresh water fish such as guppies or goldfish when it is bigger. You can train it to take food from a feeding stick after a while. There have been some anecdotal reports of cuttles dieing after being fed guppies and mine did after I had done so - might have been the cause of its demise or it could have been approaching the end of its (short) natural life. They like tanks that are tall and will stay on the rocks, bury themselves in the sand, or hang on the underside of a chaeto (or another macro algae) raft floating at the tank surface.

On a side note... did anyone see the Nature of Things documentary on Cuttlefish?
http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/cuttlefish/index.html They're pretty spectacular little creatures....

Wow, that's pretty cool. My niece would just love to watch this happen in her little tank. Keep us posted on how it does
