Hi group. I've been keeping aquatic critters since I was knee high to a grasshopper and reefs in particular for about twelve years. I am curious about other aspects of sw critter keeping. I attended a conference a few years ago for my local reef club (CMAS) where one of your very experienced members did a presentation on cephalopods.
These have long been a distant fascination of mine... cuttlefish in particular.
I was hoping some of you might be willing to share your opinions about what might be a good species to start with. As I said, I like cuttles, but would be more than happy to start with another genus if it's the better place to start. Maybe a bluering. JK! I love my family too much to bring one into my home.
Something that won't break the bank with the initial purchase or kill me on feeding costs.
Also I would like to know if there are any concerns I should know about with regard to introducing diseases via food sources. IE FW fish or the like. Oh yeah and are they smart enough to stay out of powerheads or does their curiosity tend to get the best of them?
Regards,
Walt
