I am not sure how to start this journal. I have always wanted to keep a nautilus and even visited one twice at a local pet store (fortunately no longer in business) that was kept in a shallow frag tank at 78 degrees but could not bring myself to try to save it and have them profit. Recently, one of my shrimp suppliers mentioned he could get one for me quite reasonably but I explained why I would not acquire one through purchase. Shortly after that discussion (which my supplier and I both found ironic) @ngdo contacted me with the news that I could rescue one (I had mentioned I had a cycled deep tank and chiller in Doggy's thread) from a university that was left holding 4 after the student researcher left. I am still in a daze at the opportunity . @ngdo kept the animal until I prepared the tank and reduced the temperature. It dawned on me when he/she came that with this animal I have now kept (squids are cheating a bit since the hatchlings only lived a day) at least one of each of the four cephalopod types.
@ngdo wanted to be SURE the package did not get lost . Opening the box was a bit like the Xmas presents that contain smaller and smaller packages.
