Just wanted to post a quick update, as today my cuttlefish is a month and 2 days old. Here's a photo I took earlier:
Should be getting another lot of mysis in this week. I attempted to feed him frozen mysis twice at this point, I am not exactly sure what to think of the results -- on the second mysis feeding, I thought I saw him grab one out of the current, but he just seemed to have dashed into it as opposed to using his "stretchy" "hunting" tentacles (for lack of better wording..). Do cuttles only hunt using those? Or could I have possibly witnessed it grab some frozen mysis then?
Anyway.. I believe his primary food source, other than the mysis I've been buying for him are these guys:
Theyre about 1/4inch long and all over the place. You literally cant stare at any point in the tank for more than a few seconds without seeing at least 3-4 of them scuttling around. As you can see I let some algae stay on the glass cause the 'pods seem to like it & makes them sitting ducks for the cuttlefish. . . . or at least I think so... haha
Took this photo a couple of days ago. I was worried he was getting sucked into the filter (he was perfectly fine, im just paranoid, heh). It still amazes me how well he can maneuver in the current despite his small size.
One last photo, I love how he changes color/shape!!
