Sorry for the lack of updates! I have been very busy!
Several weeks ago, I brought the first cuttle to my LFS. The tank the cuttle went in had perfect readings, except for nitrates at about 20ppm (which I know is high). We decided to risk it, acclimating it very slowly through drip acclimation. The cuttle, once in the tank, began displaying darker colors and acted almost similarly to the way the cuttles from my first batch acted. The cuttle swam all over the tank in all levels and depths, seeming like it was having difficulty with boyancy. After two days, the cuttle was MIA. I have a few pictures I can post later, as I noticed odd coloring in the pupils, wondering if this coralated with the high nitrates.
Most of the remaining cuttles I sold to local friends.
I kept 4 cuttles for myself, however when I was away for a week, something happened to the tank, causing me to loose all of them. I think it is possible a cleaning agent was spilled into the system. Now I am working on empting the system and starting from scratch again.
Well it was an amazing experience watching these cuttles grow from eggs. I have a ton a pictures and videos from the process, that I plan to add in an album eventually. Hopefully in a little while, I will be able to begin this process again. Cuttlefish are indeed, the greatest creatures to ever roam our seas.
