Ink is the way; the way is ink.
Of my 9 hatchlings, all of them were fully developed accept for one. The 9th hatchling looked like the 3rd from the right on the second row. After a couple days it lost its yolk, but never ate any mysids and died. The other 8 are still alive after 8.5 weeks. I wonder what % of eggs on average do not fully develop.
Very nice!

Thales, YOU, found it, I just borrowed it for our use.

"This is it. In 1861, to the north-east of Teneriffe, very nearly in the same latitude we are in now, the crew of the despatch-boat Alector perceived a monstrous cuttlefish swimming in the waters."

That's a big Wow!
