eggs

I'm preparing my tank for cuttlefish eggs so I have a 20 gallon that I just split into two with acrylic and silicone. I plan on keeping shrimp alive on one side and cuttlefish eggs in a breeder net on the other. My idea was to have two flexible overflow tubes - one going from main to the...

About 8 1/2 weeks ago (around New Years Day) my wild caught bimac laid eggs. They are large eggs, about 3/4" long and maybe 3/16" wide at the fat end (which makes her bimaculoides, right?). The tank is cold, about 64 degrees, but it's been over eight weeks and the eggs look exactly the same as...

Well, this morning more cuttle eggs arrived! These ones came from Tracy in southern Utah (Octopus Reef). I ordered 10, and when they arrived, there were a bunch of extras thrown in too. Overall a very smooth transaction, and the eggs look great! One hatched in transit, and I can see babies...

Hello everyone, I brought this beautiful girl (I am of course guessing on gender) home about 10 days ago, and she is doing wonderfully (all thanks to what I learnt on TONMO. I could never have done it without you guys). She spends most of her day inside a pot or her pipe, but comes out at least...

ok so i got up every couple hours last night trying to catch the start of the hatch in action... never did... so all day ive been waiting. still hasnt occurred. the eggs look ready to explode and the babies are wriggling their arms around frantically. but anyway heres some more pics to...

well aside from the few stragglers the eggs look like they are about to pop. the yolks are completely gone in about 85% of the eggs and the little fellas in them are starting to get awfully restless. i think it will be in the next 24 hours or so that they will hatch. just out of curiosity...

Last Tuesday (12/11/07) I received two clutches of cuttlefish eggs. Each had 10 eggs, but 3 out of the 20 were deflated leaving me 17. They are in 2 separate net breeders right now, one has more light and flow than the other. I want to see if that makes a difference in activity, growth rate, and...

well a small strand of about 20 eggs fell off the ceiling of the den and ended up on the bottom glass. i was able to get a few pictures of them. i also tried to slip an airhose in on the end of a syringe to try and suck up the loose eggs but she blew at the hose resulting in the eggs being...

I am selling bandensis eggs through www.newalameda.com - a local fish store that I help out. The eggs/babies are at my place and I bring them over as needed. I should be getting more eggs this week, and right now I have about 10 eggs and 10 babies - the eggs are hatchin! :D RR

Hi, :welcome: I have an unidentified octo which I got from the beach during my evening walk. To my surprise it was brooding on its eggs.. I placed it in a fiber reinforced plastic tank of 150 l capacity and tried to feed it with small shrimps which it hardly consumed. To my surprise, after a...

I've FINALLY got a digicam!!! So here's a pic of one of our Octopus (we have 4 at the moment Earle {After Dr Sylvia Earle, who was a reccent visitor here!}, Arrow, Squiffy and Trev). This is Trev who has spent the holidays meeting and greeting visitors for 10 -20 mins each day. Visitors could...
