G'day all have been visiting for a while but never got around to joining .. glad to be aboard
I need some urgent help
I have inherited a Grandpa aged giant Cuttle Sepia apama
he is absolutly awesome and i make sure to take plenty of time out of the day to entertain him (although i dont know who is more entertained :P )
My question is in relation to his suckers
about a month ago it was noted he was "coughing" up a pile of white rings that we determined where his suckers
he has come good since and was feeding well
but today he has coughed up another huge cloud of suckers
my question is does any one know what is causing this or what it is a sign of
in lu of an answer could any one refer me to some reading that might help answer this
water quality is good , salinity is a bit low ( about 32 -33 ppt ) there is no identifiyable ammonia or nitrites , unfortanatualy our supply water is also showing trace Nitrate levels but he recieves a 50% change daily on his system to ensure these are as low as possible
His diet consists of Squid (pen left in) and deep water fish fillets at a max of 50g per day and misses 2 feeds a week
any help woul;d be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
i will make ssure to get some pics up soon of him :P)
