cuttlefish??

[daggermoon]

anyone knows if you can keep/raise cuttlefish?

Welcome to the boards!!! I moved this to the aggressive forum for you. Hopefully someone has some experience to share with you.

Yes.. it is possilble... As far as I remember they need cooler temps and have a short life expec. like a year or so...

 

[shrimpy brains]

That would be very cool! Haven't heard of anyone keeping them.
Will stay tuned in to see if anyone does!

They are rather cheap from my wholsaler.. I remeber asking them about it once and they reason they were so cheap is that 95% of the time they perish rather quickly in home aquaria..

Tonmo does not sell anything therefore not a competitor of SWF.
Acceptable link, correct?

thanks sepulatian!!
ooooh wow, cool! it can be done... but the poor guys don't live too long, this is going to take me years to set it up right... at least i have tons of reading to do.
thanks again guys
i wonder if i get a pygmy cuttlefish, in a tank with mostly docile larger fish... i wonder if that goes well?

is texasmetal still on the boards? he might know something about them.

 

[runn3rb3an]

He's not on anymore. As far as I can remember you sholud be fine with a few larger very docile fish

On the plus side: cuttlebone is an excellent chew toy for puffers. It really keeps their ever-growing teeth in check and they love it. Most triggers like to gnaw on it too.
