I guess I am just jealous of the Octo thread, but we should know where cuttlefish are available too.

Just to let everyone know-
Aquatropics has bandensis eggs-I just talked to them (4-5-06 5:00pm)
Click here to get thier contact info. (http://www.google.com/local?hl=en&lr=&q=aquatropics&near=Gainesville,+FL&radius=0.0&latlng=29651389,-82325000,16036219077130127566&sa=X&oi=local&ct=result&cd=0)

You're right - I just haven't set up the Cuttlefish Availabillity post (which sticks at the top of the forum) yet.

Glad there are some available.

any idea if they ship?

I know for a fact they do.

excellent thanks!

I was indoor reef www.indooreef.com the other day asking about octopuses and they said they can also get S.Prashadi, S.Apama, and S. Latimanus cuttles and are willing to ship.

Those would be cuttlefish I think. S. stands for sepia, which are cuttles. Never heard of those species at all, let alone in the aquarium trade.

Yes they are cuttlefish.

I have never heard of s.prashadi. I couldn't find it in ceph world guide either. I am surprised they can get the others too.

Here is some info I found on the prashadi http://www.cephbase.dal.ca/spdb/speciesc.cfm?CephID=37

Apama and latimanus get very big, like a meter and 1/2 a meter respectively. :smile:

Has anyone kept any of them?

I have never heard of anyone keeping S.prashadi or S.apama, although I belive a few people keep S.latimanus. Although keeping an S.apama would be undeniably cool (the cuttle would be almost as big as you...), you'd need a tank the size of a swimming pool to give it adequate space. S.prashadi does not appear to be common in the pet trade, even though it looks fairly common, and is medium-sized, at least according to this website here: http://www.zen-ika.com/zukan/01-10/p06.html. Truly, the only thing that seems to be keeping S.prashadi out of our aquariums is the fact that it's not really well known.

:grin: Hmm.........
