Cuttle fish

I have read alot about these guys and also follow at TONMO but I am still finding it just about impossible to get a couple of these guys here in the Midwest. Does anyone know of someone that breeds these more locally or an easier way of getting one out here to the Midwest?

 

i can get eggs all the time, i had one hatch in the bag it was pretty cool but it didnt make it i just didnt have the setup for it im thinking or maybe the water was too warm or something

 

Wasn't there someone on RC that was raising these guys?

 

what do you do with them food? or you looking to raise them might be kinda cool to have a tank of them

 

We've got some flamboyant cuttlefish at the zoo right now, they are extremely cool. I actually had a personal tank cycling a few years ago for a cuttlefish tank but got a great deal on a pair of seahorses before I ordered any. Cuttlefish are pretty damn expensive and only live to about 16 months old. Here's the link to some zoo pics of the Metasepia pfefferi.

cowdust can you still get eggs? Reefguy looking to keep one in a tank, not for food lol . adampottebaum that's so cool! Are they as hard as people make them out to be to keep?
!

 

Not too bad. They need their own tank and have different demands than reef fish. Most will only eat live ghost shrimp.

 

sweet thanks kind of what I had heard as well. As soon as I can get ahold of of a couple it should be fun, thank everyone for the info
