I am an advanced marine hobbyist and am now delving into the wonderful world of the cuttlefish! I ultimately plan to breed themin my 150 gallon tank, and currenly house 2 juvenile cuttles which I hatched from eggs. I have opportunities to obtain more eggs, and I plan to try to hatch about 100 eggs in the near future. I want to reach out to my fellow marine enthusiasts who find the cuttlefish as fastinating as I do so that we can together further the research done on breeding cuttlefish in captivity. I have been sorely dissapointed at the lack of resource on the web for people who need to know more about these creatures! This lack of information encouraged me to be one of the first amatuers on the frontier of this exciting experiment! Please take a look at some of the footage that I have taken - I will post videos and more pictures as they come along. The site is new, so please bare with me as I update it - I hope to eventually have a forum for discussion and question/answer type section.

ENJOY :)

MY MISSION

Cuttlefish are a species of mollusk who are unbelievably intelligent but unfortuately very short lived.   Many people are fasicnated with cuttlefish, and therefore they are harvested more and more from they ocean.  A very high percentage of cuttlefish ordered into aquarium storesn for aquarium hobbyists like myself do not survive the journey.   If I can sucessfully start to breed my cuttles in captivity, perhaps I can decrease the numbers of cuttlefish that are basically murdered all the time by being harvested to become pets in our tanks.  Nevermind those that are sacrificed for their bones which are found on most budgie cages.
Please help my in my search for infomation about breeding cuttlefish.
I have overcome my initial challenge of keeping them alive right after hatching ( they require LARGE amounts of live food and will not accept anything dead as a substitute)  Now I am trying to build up my population enough to start them breeding.
Please contact me through this site if you have any information or are interested in becoming a part of my project
