dunl Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Atta boy. Josh can bring you back a new one from Tenecor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Roth Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 since they are smaller than peas, right now they are in an empty but established 5 gallon, overskimmed, equivalent of an AC150, temp 79 degrees. They are a dwarf species reaching 4" out of the indian ocean, and will need about 30 gallons. If I can breed em, I will be very very happy, they don't live long, and a constantly replenishing supply would be awesome. You GOT to see them hunt 'pods, it is hilarious.

dunl Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Very cool. How much were they, if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Roth Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 don't mind at all. The eggs were 1.49 a piece, and the swimmers were 4.99 each. so if the other eggs hatch, the 'breeding colony :P" was what, 26 bucks plus tax? :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Not bad at all. Got any links to some good info on these? Not really thinking of getting any, but pretty interested in finding more out about them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Roth Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) All the info I got was from this thread, actually. Albert provided some EXTREMELY informative stuff... Tim, check out http://www.tonmo.com.They are down right now as I type this, but it is the biggest online resource for Ceph information. Also, http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=38 That should give you a good idea of where to start.

BlkWolfe Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I wish we got cuttlefish up here. Golds needs an Edmonton branch Rudy, tenecor has 120x48 footprint tanks. Can you say Shark Tank :drool: well, until they're full grown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midgetwaiter Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Michael, have you figured out if you have a s. bandensis or s. officinalis? I'd like to get one if they are bandensis, I'm not equiped to house an 18" cuttlefish I asked the guy at Big Al's and he looked at me like I was turning purple and said "Baby Cuttlefish" while guesturing at the sign. I will never understand why some people have such a hard time saying "I don't know". Edited October 7, 2005 by midgetwaiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) I asked the guy at Big Al's and he looked at me like I was turning purple and said "Baby Cuttlefish" while guesturing at the sign. I will never understand why some people have such a hard time saying "I don't know". Thats funny. They have told 4 dfferent people 4 different things. The have told me 6 inches and another guy told me 2 feet, but would be o.k. in a 25 gallon. With respec to my shark egg by the way they told me it would not get much bigger than when it hatches. Apparently sharks don't grow when they come out of an egg. Guy I bought it from was pretty cool though. Mustache. Very straight and told me I shouldn't buy it.

dunl Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I think the term used by the police is "aquatic pushers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
