Guess what Baby A's Crristmas present to me was???? I thought she was finished laying eggs, but no, she just found another place to lay them... at least 14 more for a grand total of 159 eggs.

She is a Sepia bandensis and from what I heard, bandensis are supposed to lay between 5-40 eggs... I wish...
I talked to someone from the NRCC and she said there is only ONE peer-reviewed scientific article on Sepia bandensis. All that is known about the life cycle of bandensis is from private aquarists and Tonmo people...
Oh, I forgot to mention that Baby A has now been laying eggs for over three months now.

That is so amazing! Has anyone ever heard of a cuttle doing that before?

Yes.
Well, I finally pulled the eggs off of the rocks and I undercounted... she is up to 176 eggs. This batch is going to NRCC. All three cuttles still look good and tomorrow is Saturday, and you know what that means

Well, I double-checked the tank before shipping off this last batch to the NRCC. I come home from FedEx and what do I find??? 5 more eggs - 181 total. The cuttlefish get the best of me every time...

Wow...what are people gonna think when you go around saying that you have 181 grandchildren with more on the way?????
Well, looks like she laid about 9 more - 190 total, do you think she will make it to 200? These eggs aren't as well formed as the others - I think she is getting tired...
