Look into the past and let us know!
AMichels said:I was endlessly amazed/entertained when I watched my cuttlefish swim; it looked so effortless, not like how a fish swims--more like how a balloon floats.
When my cuttlefish moved from a shadowed area into the light, its color shifted to match its background like it was bending light. They're fiesty, too. If I stared at mine too long or too close it would turn red and fake a bull-rush. It would ruffle its arms, blowing them with its siphon like it was a moustache.
When they eat it reminds me of a chameleon shooting out its tongue.
Its eyes make it look so human, and you know in your head that it's looking at you, seeing you as well as you're seeing them.
But the most amazing thing is that it's alive and in your tank, and they're so sensitive . . . it makes you even more careful about maintaining your tank specs.
I keep discus, red-eyed tree frogs, freshwater plants, SPS corals, etc. There's nothing more fascinating than a cuttlefish.
