Baby cuttlefish
 
Picked up an egg a few weeks ago with Anthony and it actually hatched sometime today. Don't ask me what kind it is, I really don't know. I figure if i don't like it after awhile when it gets too big, it will always taste good in some good stirfry.

Above three pics' description: Its has a head of a Hikari mysis in its tentacles and another head of another Hiraki mysis in front of it.

It finshed its meal, spat out the remainder of the mysis head and swam around happily for pictures.

Haha..that's too cool. What tank are you going to keep it in?

I wish you success with this fish :)

It's supposed to be a dwarf cuttlefish. Great that it's eating frzn mysis already. That's super. Hope mine do as well.

Just saw my little baby cuttlefish hiding under a shell. He's soooo cute.:biggrin:

Very cool indeed! Where do you buy these eggs?

michika 08-16-2007 01:17 PM

How old do you think it is?

I think he said it hatched sometime today, so it's about a day old.

yeah its a day old and the hikari mysis was a little too big for it. so I'm going to go get some arctic pods from OA today and feed that to him. I think he will appreciate that more.
It was pretty cool to watch it change colors several times as I was taking photos. it would flash into a burgandy red color and back to white on and off.

Wow, that's pretty cool. My niece would just love to watch this happen in her little tank. Keep us posted on how it does
