Your gunna have one hell of a time finding them ... good luck

Contact a member called Lefty, he might be able to help I remeber he had a bunch of eggs a while back and was trying to breed them.

Just saw another thread of yours

Dont bother with a sepia unluss you are dedicating the entire system to it. Its not reef tank suitable.

why?

temperature matches, and I don't have any anemone's, euphilia or LPS except maybe an open brain coral.

Some modifactions are needed, but it can be done...

Hi Rich! yeah it's me =P

this is the only forum I was using koden, the others were all kinetic, so I decided to be more consistent

New Alameda aquatics has access to them, or it says so on their website. Eggs and juveniles, cheap.

I was there today, but forgot to look for them.

They aren't at the store, but the store is indeed selling them.

Well keep pimin' em until I have a chance to do a 2nd setup!

do you know how long you'll be selling these cuttles for? is this just a one time thing? I can probably keep the temporarily in a 32G that I've had running for about 7-8 months now, I'll just have to transfer my fish and shrimp to a prop tank. But if they'll be available in a month from now, I could always wait for my 98g to finish

thanks!

Did you read my article Art? Look at the section about raising babies.

 

[count mackula]

Wouldn't it be ok to keep a pair in a ~30g? (Not filtration, only "living room")

I guess that would be pushing it a bit, but seems doable from what I've read.

bah! i've read your article at least 3 times! hehehe =) Time to go read it again...

and I just did. I guess you only have that one batch and won't be getting more =(

Art, these are wild caught, so I will prolly have some for a while. The point was how I recommend keeping the babies for the first couple of months. In a net breeder. So, stick a net breeder in your tank, leave the fish alone and you will have plenty of time to get the cuttle tank up and running.

Any chance they are taking frozen foods?
