Collected baby Squid tonight

[Whitebird1]

got to be fast, I am attempting to acclimate them to a 12 gal aqua pod. went to shark river NJ and found hundreds of 1/2 inch squid among bait fish fry. pretty neat. collected about 25 or so, reddish color now, very lively. I am trying to drip acclimate them to 2 tanks that i have vacant. any advice?? I will check back.

I read on tonmo.com that pretty much nobody has had success in keeping squid alive in captivity. You might condsider putting them back? What do you plan on feeding them?

Just my 2c,

Ciaran,

Whitebird, I was watching a special about the NCCR (National Centre for Cephlapod Research); in the documentary a staff member stated squid had to be housed in a circular tank to have a chance at surviving in captivity. Maybe you could try housing them in a kids pool or something similar.

That makes sense, because they would have lot's of swimming room swimming around in circles.
