Cuttle Fish : SEPIA VULGARIS

[garick]

I have been doing some reading on these guys, unfortunately there is very little in the way of proper care and housing.
I would assume they are a bit lesser than an octopus since they do not appear to climb out of tanks. Would anyone here have any experience and advice on keeping these guys. The one I am looking at is a SEPIA VULGARIS or so its called.

google tonmo. It's a forum on octo/cuttle care. Cuttles in general are tougher to keep.

I would advise against it... The problem with these short lived creatures is getting so attached to them. When they pass it is like losing a child.
If you are interested in cuddles, the best way to go about it is raising them from eggs yourself. Experience with fish fry is a plus at this point... but you can tank raise your own cuddles and have a better pet in the "short run" IME. Keep in mind they will eat anything they can and they need a lot of attention.

I see. So they are more difficult than octopus. However could one obtain a pair and breed them for eggs or does breeding primarily rely on luck and location?
