Sepia Bandensis - First Round

[snowmaker]

I swung a deal today for a 75g curved glass bullnose tank, stand and canopy, all on trades for a 40b, stand, sump, pumps, sand, rock, Urchin skimmer...etc. The plan is to remove the 40b and use the 75 bullnose as the new room divider between kitchen and dining area.
I'm thinking about keeping an octopus and lower light and flow / higher nutrient corals. Let the research begin! I absolutely love new and unique projects.

I don't know how many times I have looked at that style tank and tried to come up with a place to put one

A little tug of war with Sally's Krill. I definitely chickened out first.

Awesome!! That is the first video hand feeding a cuttle that I have seen, too cool!

I saw a cuttlegirl response:

Cuttlefish (at least in captivity) can lay eggs over a period of weeks or months.

Lol, Is my second video seen. I got the bright idea from this excellent HD video from the California Academy of Sciences

I don't really want to find out if these little guys have the cephlotoxin though.

Well they sure have something in 'em. I've seen crabs go from 100 to zero in just a few seconds. Whether or not it would do anything to human physiology...I'll probably find out for myself soon enough.

Have another (2nd) bunch of eggs placed May 6-7.

Nice! I hope my female is as prolific.

Be careful what you wish for...

CG, you failed to reference or note the number of eggs Baby A finally produced.

 

[cuttlegirl]

Well, I didn't want to scare anyone...

 

[DWhatley]

Well then, here is a link that shows your excitement with the first found and the continuing saga

I just reread that thread and was going to post the link, but you beat me to it... yikes, 236 eggs...
