My new cuttlefish babies!

sorry about the 1 shackmel. but i guess thats the way it is with younguns. glad to see the rest are doing good, and eating as you say like piggies. lol

 

well lost a second one today! I was told that there was only a 40% survival rate at this age, but was hoping that I would be able to have 100%.
I am feeding the remaining 4 right now and they all seem fairly active.

I had a little drop in my pH the other day and had to adjust that. Not sure if that had anything to do with or not? They seem to have grown quite a bit (at least from what I can tell) They still just look like fat ticks but now you can definately see their eyes more clearly!

I have been trying to get them to eat frozen, but mysis is a too big for them. I am thinking about going to the store tomorrow and getting some frozen cyclopeeze but the LFS that I normally go too did not have it. I will probably have to go to one of the other shops (one I dont like going to at all) Right now they are picking at the mysis but eating mainly the baby brine. I just added a little artic pods and they seem to be getting full right now

 

Congratulations on getting the four you have this far along. What a labor of love. Pls. keep the pics coming. While I like the idea of raising some, I am not consistent enough in my maintenance to yet be successful myself and will just need to share your excitement and joy. Thanks.

 

that is way cool Schackmel can't wait to see them get big!

 

will do! Thanks.

I will try to post pics again later this week. My mom stole both of my camera's now! I am going to go down and get them again and use the better camera and see if I can get a better shot with the macro lens

 

well I am now over the 40% survival rate.....just lost 2 more today. I dont know what happened because they looked like they were doing well.I did place a hunk of cheato in their net and there was a bristle worm on the bottom of it (I did not see it) I dont think they were stung but......:-[

 

They will often start spinning around in circles before they die. Watch out for that.

 

thanks..will keep an eye out for that.

They were fine around 12ish and then when I went to feed the second time the two were dead and just slime.

I tested everything just to be sure....ph 8.2, kH 8 (those have been stable), and everythign else was right on.

 

It could just be nature doing what she does How many little guys do you have left, now?
