Dr. Snuggles! Can't wait to see the photos! :cuttle:

Such a gentle name for such a vicious predator. Name him Rex, or Killer, or Dr. Death.

very cool. and appropriate, too !

i wasnt the actualy one who named him, i let my little sister do it, and thats what she picked.

first one is the lil bugger seccond is his current home, a net breeder, and the last is his future home, it will lose the fish and the anemone

Dr. Snuggles "Friend to the animal world" was a character created by Jeffrey O'Kelly. Later turned into an animated program produced in Holland, English-language voice characterizations by the late Sir Peter Ustinov.

Personally, I like naming against type. Dr. Snuggles fits the bill perfectly for a voracious uber-predator.

:cuttle:

Hmmmm...looks like I need to start a list of our Tonmo cuttles, like the list we have for octopuses!

Nancy

Capital idea, Nancy! Our cuttle population seems to be increasing (particularly here in the States - thanks Righty!) and I think our finned-and-tentacled friends deserve their own list.

OK, may take a few days to post it - I'll put the list at the top of this forum for now.

Don't forget that in the UK Mikey and Colin have a number of cuttles, so we're not just limited to this country.

That funny - I called him Dr. Snuggles while he was here!

Glad he made it safe! :D

I certainly wasn't forgetting our non-U.S. cuttle population!

:D

I name the entire group now instead of individuals...I like to pretend they have a group mind. "Shrimp - you will be digestulated"

A group mind? Kinda like the Borg? Are they a collective?

Good to see this happening over there thanks to Rich.

Well my group of 10 became 11 last night - thanks to 2 months of mis-counting or a hide-away!!

No wonder 10 shrimp fed always ended up in 2 fighting!! Anyway - I aint got names for them all!! hehehe

Hey Mikey!

I really think keeping a group is going to pay off. I believe you are going to be a daddy soon! Then we need 6 more people like us in each country... :D

if this works well with my cuttle then in six months or so, i may want some eggs of my own

Rarely, if ever, have I been so wound up about a new development in the animal trade. You guys have really spearheaded a new fascination in the big wide world of aquaculture, and deserve a huge pat on the back and a cold one !!
I am looking forward to getting cuttlefish like a kid on December 23rd looking at the boxes, and it is a very,very refreshing feeling !
