baby cuttles doing great!

[sunce_22]

So I came accross a clutch of cuttle fish eggs about 4 weeks ago and thought I would try to raise them, instead of leaving them at a LFS where they may not get the attention they need.
So I took them home, and to my luck, they began hatching about 2 weeks ago. I have about 20 babies so far and another 15 eggs that are fertile (can see the little cuttles moving inside them).
I have been feeding them every night, live pods from the tank and tigger pods which I bought at a LFS.
I am SO HAPPY to say that I have finally got them eating frozen arctipods! I thought I would give it a try last night, and after 10 minutes they started gobbling them up!I target fed them for about an hour. I am so happy about this because this means that the cost of feeding them just came down in price significantly!

Anayways wish me luck with these little guys!
BTW they are S. Bandensis babies.

Congrats man.Have any pics?I'm trying to get a pair but not having any luck.Willing to ship me a pair when they grow a few weeks?

I am going to get some pics, I wish I could send ship them to you, but I live in Canada, and they dont ship well. I wouldn't want to try shipping them.
Do you think there is any sort of demand for these little guys? I only decided to raise them because I came across them and wanted a challenge. I currently have 20 and I am expecting about 15-20 more babies.
Sorry BADGUS I wish I could, but I dont feel comfortable shipping. If only you lived in Vancouver Canada!
I will try to get some photos tonight, now sure how to post them though?
