This would be a great book to invest in for anyone interested in owning a cephalopod...

Your LFS can probably order them, once you understand thier care and needs. My LFS ordered some cuttlefish eggs or whatever and hatched them in one of their tanks then sold them. I thought they needed unusual tanks though due to the specific needs.

Check out the forums at TONMO. There are a few that are breeding them (I'm still trying to produce some fertile eggs) and looking to dump stock.

Tonmo is cuttlefish and octopus heaven. everything and anything you need to know you will find there. 2 people that you might want to PM are Thales and Cuttlegirl. they , imo, have the most experience as far as i know. but there is A LOT of knowledge on the subject at that site.

tonmo is by far the best site I found. and I got my cuttles there. a friend and I are gonna try to breed our cuttles, between the two of us we have 7 S. bandensis and are aiming at getting two breeding groups. I may have some extra cuttles depending on how the matching goes.

Someone local got some eggs of the internet Ill see if I can find it for you. I know he had bad luck with them. They are really hard for most ppl to keep. I know there are ppl out there that have good luck but you have to have the right setup.
