G'day again all
hope you enjoyed the pictures posted of our Giant Cuttle
I have a new question that maybe someone may be able to help me with
During the spawning season do Cuttles ( specifically Sepia apama ) release any Pheromones or hormones in to the water ?
reason I ask is last night I acquired what I believe to be a female and would like to put it on the same system (separate tank) to our male cuttle
reason I ask is I have had problems in the past with tropical freshwater fish linked on one system in which on tank spawned causing the other tank to brawl (was a male only tank and they could smell the female , well that's what I assume)
so does any one have any experience with this problem with cuttles or are they much more reliant in visual communication in the courtship and attracting a mate (clearly a dominant feature of spawning in cuttles)
any advice or direction to information would be greatly appreciated
thanks again in advance
