Ok. this is my latest saltwater addiction:

We got 5 swimmers hatched, and 3 eggs to go.

hmmm silly question but...what is it?

I guess the info would help... They are baby cuttlefish, dwarf species from the indian ocean. This particular one has the remnants of his yolk sac plastered all over his tentacles

awww cuttlefish are awesome

i never knew that they were available as pets though. interesting

very nice indeed. Extremly short lived however. I think you should enjoy it for the short space of time you will have it.. 18 months tops i beleive.

I have 8

they are smaller than peas, right now they are in an empty but established 5 gallon, overskimmed, equivalent of an AC150, temp 79 degrees. They are a dwarf species reaching 4" out of the indian ocean, and will need about 30 gallons. If I can breed em, I will be very very happy, they don't live long, and a constantly replenishing supply would be awesome.


You GOT to see them hunt 'pods, it is hilarious.
