Feeding Bimacs crawfish(crawdads)

[elaflam]

Hi
I've had a cuttle from Octopets for about five months now. The first one died within a day but Jim sent another and I only had to pay shipping. He's doing great. I finally have him eating thawed frozen shrimp. He was about 2 inches when I got him and now he's about six. I'm moving him to a bigger tank in two weeks. I got this tank ready in October. He plays peek-a-boo, too. I know it sounds weird but I've actually shown some friends when he does it. It took some time for him to stop inking whenever I came around. I figured out that if I wore a white tee shirt he was calm and if I wore patterns he'd be nervous and dark colors made him ink to high heaven.
He plays in the stream of bubbles from an airstone like it was a sauna. He'll come up to the top of the tank and let me stroke him also. I think of him more like a dog now.
So I'd say he's doing well.
