schmunkel98 · 02/24/2004, 05:05 PM

Yeah, let us know. I am extremely interested.

J.A · 03/09/2004, 07:50 AM

Hi r&wc I'm joel from tonmo
hows stuff coming along?

r&wc · 03/09/2004, 04:45 PM

as far as my octo great, as far as my search for a cuttle not so great, the closest i have come so far is the call i made to austinaquariums, the guy ws supposed to get back to me but its been a little while and he has not called, i tried a follow up e-mail but i never got a response, im assuming this means they are not interested in shipping it to me, the anchofish web site looks promising but i have never gotten response to my e-mails and their 877 number is not a valid one

schmunkel98 · 03/09/2004, 05:00 PM

Anchofish is a waste of time. I got through to them a while back, but they don't deal in cuttles anymore. They have the same shipping problem that everyone else does. One of these days I'll spend the 800 bucks and get all the permits and get some cuttles from Richard in England.

r&wc · 03/09/2004, 06:24 PM

wow...800 bucks, i figured the Richard stride thing would be expensive but i never imagined that much!!!

OctoMonkey · 03/10/2004, 01:36 AM

I dont even know if Richard is doing the cuttle thing anymore, have had emails bounce and his number has rang out twice....

schmunkel98 · 03/10/2004, 10:12 AM

Great. So when are you starting up a Cuttle business Colin?

J.A · 03/18/2004, 07:18 AM

Not sure bout Colin but was thinking of selling cuttle eggs

r&wc · 03/18/2004, 04:50 PM

im sure if you were offering cuttle eggs, and it wasnt to expensive to get them over here, im sure you would find a lot of people interested, myself included

Here is a page I think you should check out:

Mike Bauer · 12/31/2004, 06:42 AM

Octopet now has tank hatched cuttlefish for sale. I have 2 and have had them for 6 months. I love my pets. see gallery for photos

FishhyRen · 12/31/2004, 09:34 AM

Where is Octopet?

Mike Bauer · 12/31/2004, 04:31 PM

www.octopets.com

r&wc · 01/07/2005, 04:13 PM

what size tank do you have for your 2 cuttles?

Mike Bauer · 01/13/2005, 07:56 PM

150 gal now, I kept them in a 30 gal for 6 months and just now moved them.

r&wc · 01/14/2005, 10:32 AM

unfortunately i got home from work today to find my cuttle floating at the top of the tank

goldberg · 01/14/2005, 12:23 PM

i didn't read through this whole thread, so i'm not sure if you've tried this place yet for cuttlefish.

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...atId=1973&cc=1

r&wc · 01/14/2005, 09:30 PM

if im not mistaken liveaquaria is getting the cuttles from octopets and jacking up the price

GlovesOfSteel · 01/15/2005, 09:38 PM

why are cuttlefish so expensive when people eat them?

Mike Bauer · 01/16/2005, 05:10 PM

Sorry to hear of your loss! I had the same thing happen my first set, used tap water to create my tank; big mistake. Did you us ro water? The water has to be 100% fre of copper. The water running though your waterline from the house will kill culltes on contact.

Thales · 01/17/2005, 11:51 AM

If you can you want to get your hands on some bandensis eggs. They have been available off and on for the last year in SF bay area.

The trick then is feeding the babies. Live food. Mysid shrimps are good but can be expensive. If you live near the ocean you should be able to pick up pods from under rocks.
Getting adult cuttles is pretty much a bad idea for all the reasons stated in this thread.

I am in the middle of writing an article about bandensis.

Sorry about the old links posted in this thread. I moved to a new site.
www.daisyhillcuttlefarm.com will get you there (and is in the process of being updated), but you can hit the cuttle link on the boo boo pages from the links in this thread as well.
