Where to find cuttlefish?

[reefergeorge]

Well, my dwarf octo died a while ago after 7 months. Long story, but he wasn't supposed to be a dwarf. I'm wanting to try some cuttles this time. The tank is 24x24x12h reef and imo should make a good display.

I have a great shop that will order them, but I like options. If anyone has eggs to sell, or trade for some equipment, point me in the right direction.

Ps. I don't need any lectures, and have the experience, and funds for the babies.

Thanks!!

If your local reef shop can order the eggs I say get from them.

Its easier to get them through your LFS than it is to have them shipped in PLUS the price of shipping can get extreme. Most of the cuttle fish I have heard about lately are over in Europe or surrounding areas and are unlikely to be shipped here successfully.

There is a another ceph site that I know of that would have source info. If you are interested in that let me know and I will pm it to you.

I talked to them again today and they say they can. I'm goin tomorrow to trade in some stuff, and place the order. If they come through, i'll start a thread.

I'd never even seen or heard of dwarf's until I saw them this summer at the Seattle Aquarium. Absolutely amazing! Good luck!

Look in the canal lol.. That where I catch cuddle fish but they always act too aggressive to keep long term.

Finally!! I have 12 eggs to start with. Hopefully I end up with enough to share the love with some local ceph guys.

Haha. I guess I could have worded that better. I'm also pretty sure that there are not any cuddle fish in any water around the us. You were probably catching squid. :fun2:
