When it rains it pours. After Onn died in January, I did not look for another ceph for awhile to be able to give full attention to family. When I was ready for a critter, I could not find quite what I wanted and saw that there were cuttlefish available so two weeks ago, I ordered eggs and am now attempting 5 cuttles.
Last week, @TMoct was ready to ship a couple of his surplus hatchlings and KP Aquatics happened upon a baby briareus so now I have a house full of younguns' (Not to mention I will be taking care of a very active grandchild next week )
This little one is probably between 3 and 4 months old. I had to laugh when @TMoct thought M&M was "huge". This one is ready for fiddlers and I tried to introduce one during acclimation. My approach was not the best and he shied away and was stressed but showed interest when he saw it running around outside his release jar. Tonight I can't find him but did see the top shell of a fiddlers in the sand so I believe he has successfully hunted.
He showed a few interesting color combinations during acclimation but the dark brown was new to me for O. briareus.
