Starting a cuttle tank

[/ATTACH]

Here are the pictures of the actual eggs. they are still in his tank. This is the post of pictures from him.

 

cool... i might just try... it is very tempting.;D

but i need to do my readings first.

 

Pics of the Eggs in my reef tank! They are so cool I watched the parents for about an hr at there house it was cool. The breeder fed them a few crabs and it was amazing to see. here are the pics of them in a net breeder to get them to hatch before move to there new tank.[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

 

Houston we have lift off. We have a pre mature baby. Dont know the outcome of it but this is the first hatchling and it is early[/ATTACH]

 

its in the medusa stage of life right? i was reading about these in my bio book one day. or is medusa stage for cnidarians.... never mind. cool, hopefully it does ok!

 

I have spoken to a few people involved in these creatures. they say this little one is very premature and has a 50/50 chance. Its very interesting to see this but at the same point I want them to be as healthy as possible. It may be at the medusa stage I cant verify it yet.

 

yea i was thinking they went through a medusa stage but i was wrong. thats cnidarians (jelly fish, corals, anemones, etc.) that go through a medusa stage, then a polyp stage. hey, i can know stuff... lol

 

Yeah baby cuttles are supposed to look like baby cuttles, which is why that one looks so premature. He might make it. He might now. You'll just have to wait and see. If he survives that though, he'll probably definitely survive to adulthood.

When's the expected due date?

 

they claim that its between 2-4 weeks to hatch. we are at 2 weeks yesterday. I hope we get some friends out of this
