One of the biggest hurdles in breeding cuttlefish and other cephalopods is the need for different sizes of live foods as the cuttles grow. Hatchling cuttles need tiny prey, juvenile cuttles need bigger prey, and adults need still bigger prey. Living by the ocean, I have been lucky to be able to collect my own different sized cuttlefish food, including amphipods and crabs, as I need it, as well as being able to purchase live marine shrimp from local bait shops. The access to such foods is one of the things that has helped me be successful in cuttlefish and cephalopod breeding. For people who don't live near the ocean interested in breeding cuttles and cephs, my advice has been to spend the money to have the live food shipped in because breeding food for cuttlefish, mostly shrimp and crabs, turns out to be time and space consuming, and expensive. However, with the advances in marine fish breeding a new source of marine feeder fish may be opening up.
