If all else fails, brine shrimp grow fast, so you could grow them out for a week or two and they would be a considerable size. I would gut load them first though. I'm assuming the cuttlefish will only eat live foods? What do the parents eat?

Yeah brine is the emergency food. I'm actually hatching them to feed the mysids lol.

For the first month its hard to get them to eat anything other then live. After a month once they grow a bit they can be trained to eat PE mysis, and then larger frozen shimp.

Update on my order it has finally cleared customs hours late. I'm going to to fedex now to pick them up.

can't help with a mysid source but cuttlefish are so badass, very smart.

what is your setup/method for housing a cuttlefish ?

is it possible to keep them with corals?

I think is would be too cool to have a cuttle fish in a large reef tank
