Hi all
just want to make a couple of points
When i got my cuttlefish they were from the same source as where you are getting yours from, they are from the English Channel and are NOT captive bred... you could maybe use the terminology 'captive reared' but these cuttles were shipped to the USA as eggs. And these eggs were laid by wild cuttles onto objects like lobster pots in the sea where they were collected. So they are not captve bred and that wouldnt have any affect on their smartness or their wilingness to respond.
I originally took seven newly hatched cuttles and I started them off in 30 gal tank BUT the 30 was the
sump for their big tank which had already cycled and was 72x30x24 inches or approx 200gals. They were in the 30 for only about 6 weeks!!!!! Thats how fast they grow.
Fish is not the ideal diet for them, i prefer to give them crustaceans liek crabs as this is their main diet in the wild.
Keep an eye on the temperature, dont let it get much above 72 as they get stressed and ink much easier...
