Cuttleclan update:
So far so good. I have had the first cuttlefish now for over a week and the other two for just about a week long. Still waiting for the last egg to hatch which looks like it could be anytime soon.
I am having luck with Mysid shrimp. Keeping them alive with these instructions:
"
1. A shallow plastic container like a shoe box (up to 200), or sweater box (up to 2000) size is recommended.
2. Airstone with medium air.
3. 3 to 4 inches of Salt Water at 1.014 sp or above. Temperatures can range from 60F to 80F. (I'm currently just using room temp)
4. Feed daily ground flake, or fresh hatched brine shrimp. Frozen freshed hatched brineshrimp will do. (Feeding flake and frozen brineshrimp)
5. A water change of 30 to 50 % should be made every 3 days.
6. Use a fine mesh net to move them.
7. Use as feed to other animals after the mysis have been fed."
And have been ordering from this site:
Mysid shrimp for sale at Sachs Systems Aquaculture
Which I have found to be the best priced and have been very pleased with the shrimp they send. It also helps that you are not bound to ordering thousands at a time. I have been ordering around 50 per week for starters to see how they would do and to keep from any waste as they do not live long.
I have yet to see the baby cuttlefish eat them but as they seem to go MIA through the day I think they are doing the job as the cuttlefish look good so far.
