Cuttlefish Availablity

[cuttlegirl]

I highly suspect that its a male being so small at this time of year, so I am fairly confident that he could live out his days happy as a clam in the 24 with all its caves (rock work in my tanks always goes from one side to the other)

Um... my males were about twice as big as my female...

I've also got a 29 gallon that I aquascaped specifically for baby cuttles with three shelves that each run about 2/3rds of the way across the tank at various levels.

I don't think you will have much luck feeding 0-1 month olds in such a large space.

Then when they grow to big for it I've got a 55 that I can set up for them, and a buddy with a 120 that would take a few. At this point I'm just focusing on proof of concept with this one, I highly suspect that its a male being so small at this time of year, so I am fairly confident that he could live out his days happy as a clam in the 24 with all its caves (rock work in my tanks always goes from one side to the other)

Maybe. For the last 4-6 months of life, mine were almost 5 inches long.

Hi everyone, my 180 is currently cycleing. It has been about 2 1/2 months now. If anyone knows/heres of anyone who has or can get a Sepia officinalis, or a S. Pharonis, or even a O. Vulgaris octopus, as my last choice, in the next couple months and can post me a tip that would be great! I am in Maryland, so they well probably have to ship.

Thanks alot, Swann

Contact Richard of Tampa Bay Saltwater (TBS). He recently told me that he may have O. vulgaris soon (they are seasonal).

Hey thales, when are you going to be selling eggs?

 

[Thales]

Don't know. The first batches weren't all that viable. Only a few hatched. Several more are inflated, so that bodes well. I also just caught a laying in action, pretty neat, and its the biggest clutch yet.

 

[Bob the kracken]

well i can only support two or three.

Providers for EU?

For those living in this part of the globe, seems these guys at marine-life.fr had some eggs, --now again without availability--

anyone knows other suppliers here? what about UK?

Thanks

For anyone in the Tampa Bay area there is a fish store called Marine Warehouse off of Hillborough Ave (Town and Country area) that has a small cuddle just labeled "cuddlefish" for 49.99

I believe it was a Sepia bandensis ....the mantle was about 2 1/2 inches long, seemed to have a cool little personality on him though, didn't like my cell phone too much

I'm interested in some eggs whenever somebody is ready to sell.

The little cuttle was sold...but one of the workers said they would special order eggs. That is what i'm getting my tank ready for. CANNOT WAIT!

Please let us know if/when you order, and maybe you could buy extras to sell to TONMO members.

Will do. It's soo exciting!

Any updates on available cuttles?

 

[Paradox]

Brock, you should try calling that store and see if they would ship to you directly. Ive not worked with this retailer before, but Ive managed to talk many retailers into shipping to me before.

Good luck!
