Baby cuttles doing fantastic!

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?

[sunce_22]

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

Will they eventually eat frozen/thawed food? Or is Live an absolute must? (I'm thinking of my location)

Sigh...I would love to have one...but I'm pretty sure he would end up as food unless he was almost full grown. Squid/cuttlefish are a major part of my fish's diet...I bet a couple of them would love the real live thing!

Mine right now are eating frozen, but it takes a while because i have to make them look alive, I have heard that they will eat frozen. But Im really not an expert on them lol. I dont want to give you any information that may not be right. There are a few great articles on the internet, just google: Sepia Bandensis.

In short they require expert care, cooler temperatures, higher salinity heavy duty skimmers and larger tanks without fish and most inverts except urchins and starfish.

If well kept, they live for only a year.
