View Full Version : what to offer to baby cuttle Panzz Apr 9th, 2005, 10:44am hi everyone, today I went down to my LFS to get 3 cuttle eggs and was thinking wat should I feed will the hatch so any suggetion currently I am told that brine shrimp will do. Thx :grin: joel_ang Apr 10th, 2005, 01:50am Brine shrimp isn't that good a food source for cephs and problems have been known to occur when babies are raised on brine shrimp. Frozen enriched mysis would be better and if you could get amphipods they'll be quite content. Colin Apr 10th, 2005, 05:09am or tiny little crabs... can you collect them yourself? Panzz Apr 10th, 2005, 10:36am we can't really collect tiny crabs (I know this is not good) but we do have frozen mysis and I have amphipods in my refugium so finding the food shouldn't be a problem it is getting them to eat the problem but they have not hatch yet so lets wait until they hatch and will keep all of you updated! Thx for the suggestions! cthulhu77 Apr 10th, 2005, 10:51am How about some pics??? I am curious to see this all developing !!! cuttle-less in arizona Panzz Apr 10th, 2005, 10:53am here are the pics!!! cthulhu77 Apr 10th, 2005, 11:00am Cool! Do you know how far developed they are? Keep on posting up images...nice to be in on the action! greg Panzz Apr 10th, 2005, 11:12am If I am not wrong they have started developing for about 30 days or so and will certainly post more images when there are more changes with the eggs!!! and will need some advice once the eggs hatch. Colin Apr 10th, 2005, 02:21pm how much does it cost you for the eggs.... and how much is postage from singapore to the UK? :) Panzz Apr 10th, 2005, 06:42pm the eggs only cost SGD$5 for 3 and as for the shipping I can't really comfirm but I think we have to apply a certificate with the AVA of singapore first erich orser Apr 11th, 2005, 02:00am I hate to add something really obvious and stupid, but since nobody else has stepped up to the plate, I feel it's my responsibility. What to offer to a baby cuttle? How about gold, frankincense, and myrrh? Colin Apr 11th, 2005, 04:41am ...that's asuming that we can find three wise men here, Erich! LOL Mikey Apr 22nd, 2005, 09:22pm Can we have an update please? :smile: a rabid squid Apr 23rd, 2005, 02:16am i found tis really cool jar of zooplankton at my LFS and was wondering if that would be suitable food for hatchlings. Colin Apr 23rd, 2005, 04:30am zoopankton would be a bit small. a 1cm baby cuttle can eat a 1cm shrimp :) Thales Apr 23rd, 2005, 11:25am i found tis really cool jar of zooplankton at my LFS and was wondering if that would be suitable food for hatchlings. It should be easy for you to collect pods from under some rocks just above the tideline around the bay. Flip a rock and they should be jumping. Scoop the sand/rock into a bucket, add a net and voila! |
