EMeyer Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'm hatching another batch of dwarf cuttlefish eggs (Sepia bandensis) and once again I have some extras. Currently I have one available. There are two more eggs in the hatching chamber so any day now I may have two more. I'd like to move these as quickly as possible to avoid spending money on extra food. Currently they are newly hatched -- less than 1 cm. They ideally want to eat live mysis, but you can sometimes get them straight onto amphipods at this age. Brine shrimp apparently never work and are not worth trying. $25 each or will trade for corals. Can meet up anywhere between Albany and Eugene.

EMeyer Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'll post some updates to my cuttlefish tank thread soon, but the babies described in this post are long gone. Sorry, early cuttlefish development goes quickly, they either die or grow rapidly in the first few days. In this round, I ended up with 4/6 hatch rate and 2/4 survival. The remaining 2 are eating like little monsters and I'll be keeping them. Glad I wasnt able to sell any in time, in hindsight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
