Default new cuttlefish photos

My guys are 6 months old now and close to the midway point in their short short lives. They have however started to enjoy themselves at least :





I took those with the lights off and it caught me by surprise so they aren't the best.

Another nighttime shot (early morning actually)









A happy couple


If you look close you can see them both looking at the camera



Looks high after catching this shrimp, pupils are huge!



More to come...

They just started showing mating behavior. Given their age it could be a couple of months before they will spawn and should continue to lay eggs up until their lifespan ends around 1 year old.

Very nice! I love their ability to change color it's too bad they have such a short lifespan.
