I wish I had a cuttlefish appropriate tank set up right now.

I hear ya, cuttlefish seem like they would make a great addition, if I had the right tank to set up for them.

Well I went by there yesterday after i posted this thread... and I bought a cluster of eggs. I left them there till i was ready to go home (working). When i picked them up they said they made a mistake the price was for EACH egg not the cluster. What are the chances of buying an egg and it will actually hatch and live? BTW the cluster I picked was had about 15+ eggs ... I cant justify buying one egg and having the chance of it not even hatching for $30.

Did anyone pick any eggs up? My brother, a friend and I passed by Big Al's again, they reduced the price of the eggs to $15 each, and $15 for each hatchling. We managed to pick up 3 eggs, and by the time we got them home, they hatched!!! So we now have 3 cuttlefish that we are now nursing in a nursing net, eating a little live baby brine shrimp. Mine has actually started changing colors, white, then bright pink now burgandy. Its a start of a new challenge, If anyone wants to pick one up they have a few eggs and a few hatchlings left.

bought the hatching kit @ Big Al's for $10. Hatched brine in about 15 hrs. Used a dropper to feed cuttle, you can see the little guy eat some up
