Since this has been bumped, I'll add in. If you live in the DC area, it will be great for you ceph lovers to visit the invert house at the national zoo in about 3-4 months. They just got 5 young officinalis, are about to get some (number unknown
) pharaonis, currently have 10-15 nautilus (and they are actually breeding!), 2 GPO's, one of which is pushing on 5 years old, and at some point in the FORESEEABLE future, will be getting flamboyants. I've actually been given the ("joyous"
)task of helping to write the species acquisition form for the flamboyants. Joyous because, we are in a mammal world where, when the appropriate people at the zoo see the words - cuttlefish, invert, and poisonous together on paper, they freak and we will have to convince them that flamboyants are no more "dangerous" than the sea apples they already have and took 1.5 years to attain due to the work it took to convince the "bosses" that they didn't pose a "danger to guests", however, it is a rather simple matter to get a lion, tiger, and especially at the national zoo, cheetah
. So I'll definetly be looking to you guys for help.
On a different note, if anyone is going to be in the area, shoot me a PM and I should be able to work up something special for you at the invert house
. Especially because the older of the two GPO's is behind the scenes and can't really be seen without going back there.
