abe Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 interesting cuttlefish reefs are awesome. Link to comment
Alexraptor Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 just to warn you these can be hard to keep (im sure you know)my school had one in a display tank n it died n then they put another, n im pretty sure it died too granted, they are idiots and had only a really crappy filter running on it with a school thats so involved in aquaculture and marine biology u think theyd be able to run a simple fish tank... How quickly did they die? Because while Cuttlefish are hard to keep they tend to have a very short lifespan, some of the shorter lived ones just living for a matter of months. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 The Cuttlefish: They arrived today at around 10 o'clock, and I drip acclimated them for 2.5 hours. When I opened the box the bag was punctured but luckily most of the water was still in the bag! They are a lot larger then I expected and I will need to order some grass shrimp in the next day or so. They are about the size of a large grape so about 1". Anyway here are the pictures: When I opened the package: Acclimating: Color Change: Size Comparison of the two: In the net breeder: Hope you guys enjoy! Link to comment

Ebn Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Both Daniel and Rich breeds cuttles; these are just stocks from Daniel that Rich is helping to ship out. Picking up a pair myself next time I'm heading to the city. Here's a picture of a couple of Paradox's brood stock feeding. The pair is probably part of this group. Link to comment
