The mystery egg just hatched. He is a little bigger than the other two hatchlings, but not substantially. I think it's safe to say its a bandensis
Yes. Haha. I live only 45 minutes away. The joys of living in Florida. I'm not sure if I would have even attempted cuttlefish if I didn't live in such a convenient place. I'm only 15 years old, with a busy school life (being dual enrolled in college and high school) and an intense sports life, so I have little opportunity for a job, which makes cuttlefish expenses even more difficult. Living by Sachs, and the intercostal waterway (where I catch dozens of shore shrimp in no time at all) will cut the cost tremendously.lilalancarey;190762 said:you can drive to sachs? >_< /jealous...
DWhatley;190770 said:CG, correct me is I am mistaken but aren't all S. officinalis in colder waters than S. bandensis? I have a hard enough time remembering he where abouts of the few octos I try to know a little about but I thought S. officinalis was only a cold(er) water ceph. It seems like the broad club is found in some of the areas for S. bandensis but their eggs are white (I remember Paradox getting oneand really hoping it was a flamboyant). The primary question was answered at hatching but I am still curious what combinations we might see.
How do you get your animals from the collector? Is that a special privilege, or can I take part in that also?DWhatley;190789 said:Ah, getting my animals directly from the collector, I forget about the wholesale, retail exposure where anything can happen![]()

Cuttle hatchling 3 seems to be going crazy?? He/she is swimming and spinning all over the net breeder in a helicopter-like fashion...anyone know what this means?
DWhatley;190873 said:From my experience with octopus and squid, this is a very bad sign. It sounds identical to what I observed with Cassy and Tank's hatchlings and they only lived a very short time (24-48 hours). I think the action is significant and would very much like to know if anyone has a suggestion as to the cause but I believe something does not develop correctly.
