Has anyone had any experience with keeping cuttlefish?I've heard they can be toxic if upset.These are 1-2 inches long.

How big of a tank do you have? They dont stay 1-2"

You need to talk with Rich.

Cuttlefish are highly specialized and most reefkeepers cannot help you like he can.

Thanks for the link inwall.WOW!!!It's going to take me a week to read it.From the small bit I read it looks like they need a no fish tank or they will make it that way.I've noticed an abundance of them in my local estuary lately and I thought they might be an interesting addition.A bit more research might be in order.

I've been in this hobby a while. More research is NEVER a bad thing.

Best wishes. Cuttle's are pretty interesting in my mind.

I thought they had very short lifespans naturally. This also makes them less attractive to hobbyest

True, I believe their life span is only 1-2 years. They are very interesting creatures...a lot of research is being done at them at the moment.
