Cuttlefish Questions :D

Jeremy0322 · 10-29-2009, 02:04 AM

I am taking a class right now called Invertebrate Zoology and we learned about these recently, they fascinate me for some reason, just pure awesome. I was wondering if they were possible to get in the trade, and if so if anyone had any links. When im done with school I would like to set a tank back up revolving around one of these, so i figured I would get the research started early haha

Fascinating animals - quite common as food in some areas of the world. The cuttle bone in all those bird cages come from them

Once in awhile you see cuttlefish eggs available. I think this is your best bet. Like all cephalopods they have short life spans. Don't know of any available at the moment.

FYI, this months Reef Life is focused on cephalopods. 4 or 5 articles; one on cuttlefish. I have read some articles online that cuttlefish eggs can be collected early spring to mid summer. May be off season now
