My new cuttlefish babies!

photobucket is working again...
here are some movies (hope it works...first time I ever did a movie)
Now mind you...I was holding the camera, trying to get the cuttles, feed them, all by myself! LOL




you can see the current tank set up in one of the videos. I have a lot of chaeto in there to help populate the pods. I am going to get some cool colorful macros in from John Maloney so when they are out of the net they can play in there and change colors!

I am still workong on their tank. I will have to be selling some of them as it seems they might all survive YEAH!

 

here is some more pictures of their tank!

 

good luck with the lil buggers wish i was closer im trying to get my hands on one or two for a friend. but no1 can get them locally

 

Loneracer, are you a member of LIRA?

 

I spent a good 20 minutes trying to find those guys at the lfs. I bet you had already gotten them. Every few minutes I would go back and move that chaeto around to catch a peek.

 

Yep I am sure I did. They had ordered the eggs for me and called me Friday night. I was there by 12 on Saturday and took all the survivors! ;D

 

man I was excited to hear about them. I can't wait to see how your little guys do.

 

Well, day 8 or 9 of their life and they are eating like little piggies.

I went to the LFS to by some frozen mysis (all I had was the ones with spirulena (SP?) and of course they wanted nothing to do with the algea in it. So I bought some plan mysis and picked up some tiger pods for them!

When the owner tells me, "yeah...there is still one in the tank and it is doing great!" I was told that one died so I only bought the five. I dug around in the cheato and sure enough, baby number 6!

I of course had to grab him ;D for his own good. He has been away from his brothers and sisters and was lonely :

Actually I figured that he did not have much chance in the store as he will eventually outgrow the pods and such in the cheato and it does take quite a bit of time to feed them a couple times a day. In fact I am thinking they are going to need to increase their feedings a couple more times a day. They have the pods and such in the cheato and I am going to add some tiger pods their tank tonight, but they still act like they are starving at feeding time

The new one appears to be a tad bit smaller then the others, so will work to fatten him up.

 

You sound like my grandmother She's always trying to fatten up the skinny kid (me)...

 

well I dont think the new one survived. I went to feed them today and only see 5! I dont know if it got out of the netting somehow, if he died and melted, etc. I can not find him in my tank. I moved the cheato around, looked in the sump etc Very bummed. But the others are eating well still
