obviously octopus are a more common pet and so it has been hard to find information on the tank size requirements for cuttles.
Having done some more research i have found two species which are around my area.
s. mestus and
s. latimanus
they are both great however the latter grows to around 50cm mantle
sadly latimanus would be much easier to get hold of but being so big i dont think i could accomodate it
how large a tank would it require. i am looking at a 6' by 2' by 2 1/2' though i am fairly sure this is much too small
what would you reccomend? thanks
