I'm having trouble with the new attachment management and uploading pics. This is the only one ive been able to get to upload. Can someone help with this? I will upload more pics when i figure it out or get it to work. Thanks

Not sure about this but if you hold up a small mirror to the tank so the cuttlefish can see itself, the one that gets the most upset will be a male. Only tried it once on my larger type cuttlefish and the female would ignore it and the male would run up to the glass ready to fight. It might stress him to inking. Have anyone else ever tried this?

 

[Cephdoc]

I think I have 2 males and 3 females.

 

[Mike Bauer]

Thales help! Which is larger the male or female?
Well that is good new! Better than 5 males or five females.

Do the males look smaller or larger?

 

[Cephdoc]

They are bigger

 

[Mike Bauer]

What I though was a male seem larger to me but my pair passed before I was sure.

 

[Thales]

At the end of the lifespan the males are generally bigger, but the size difference doesn't seem to be apparent until at least 7 or 8 months.

Nice to know. Thanks

Is this true for all types of cuttlefish?
