bobtail squid care and availability

[jakester]

Has anyone ever bred these.

I don't recall anyone on TONMO breeding but have read that they breed well in captivity and are used in labs frequently. Apparently their lifespan is less than a year so anyone wanting to keep them would need to learn about keeping a breeding environment, possibly in some of the scientific journals, to have a successful experience. They are certainly tempting but I don't know how much you would see of them as I believe they are sand dwellers during the day and hunt at night.

That is what I heard so if I can get a couple will try to breed them. I wish they lived longer.

I've read that the cold water species live two years from egg to adult but require temperatures of 50F or colder.

 

[jakester]

That is to bad.

I sent an inquiry about octos in general as well as the bobtails but have not had a reply.

Actually there are a bunch of "Bobtail Squids" 21 according to Mark Normans book............

Wow that's alot of bobtails! and i'm still missing one but my eyes are blurry and my fingers are tired, LOL!

Sepioloidea pacifica! From NZ, We occasionally have these on display but they're pretty boring as a display animal!

I should be able to get Rossia Pacifica.

Once my GPO is gone I intend to keep several Bobtails.

If anyone is interested let me know
