Anyone kept dwarf cuttle? (Sepia bandensis)

[Kremis]

So cute!

So you are using a net breeder to keep track of them and macroalgae to give them natural cover?

yup thats the plan

I believe @Paradox also keeps cuttlefish. Has been ages since I met him. I think he has/runs the Ocean Treasures servicing company.

Yes that correct and he is my cousin.

Already down to 4, one of them didnt make it through the night. I noticed one was having difficulty swimming yesterday and spent a lot of time directly under the surface of the water, I believe it was that one. the other 4 are still just sitting there

are they eating yet? they will feed on live ghost shrimp and small guppies too

havent seen them eat anything, all 4 are just sitting under the macroalgae

I'd collect some amphipods to induce them into feeding or so other small live crustacean

So how are they doing?

 

[Plankton]

Put me down for one of your extra survivors! Wonder if I could raise in my refugium?

 

[Kremis]

They are doing ok, at least the remaining ones. Another one died after not eating anything / not moving, and then one went missing, is no longer in the breeder net so it either died or is in my 12g somewhere. The other 2 are eating the baby mysis I put in there so they are doing good. But yeah already down to 2 and it has only been a few days. I doubt these guys handle shipping / moving tanks well at all so I would assume that is the reason, I think if i were to try this again I would try and get some a little bigger, they are just so small

Nice guy! Met him a few times at the shop

not at the size they are now. A ghost shrimp would eat them right now

Sorry I am late to the party. How much are you offering as food and how often? And, not brine I hope...
