Hi all!
I am an experienced hobbyist, and I'm soon to move into a bigger home with room for my newly aquired 125 gallon tank. I want to set up a single species tank with cuttlefish, with the cuttles being added after about a year of tank maturation with a few common marines (I know they say 3-4 months is OK, but I like to be prudent with these things).
The tank has two Eheim canister filters, each rated for a 125G, so I am overfiltered - a good thing given the waste these guys produce. I will aquire a good protein skimmer.
So here are my questions:
1. Does anyone know how many common european cuttlefish or pharoahs I could reasonably keep in a 125 gallon? I was thinking six, but maybe that is too many?
2. Does anyone know a good source of cuttles in the US? I'd be really interested in raising them from eggs if there is a source.
3. Are they comfortable leaving with any living corals?
Thanks in advance!
Steven
