    Well im sorry to say that even with everything 100 percent in the tank and testing all the time and having everything perfect they stopped eating and within 2 days died..... I am very bummed. I feel that the problem is keeping them fed but they would not allow me to feed them and I feel it was hard for them to catch the food. I woke up yesterday to 3 cuttle bones floating in the system with not cuttles....... Very dissapointed and discouraged but will give it another go when the time is right. Thanks for all your support with this and all of you who have followed this thread.

    aw too bad. I hear that's not much worse than natural survival rates of the young...

    I'd imagine something wasn't perfect though...

    Good effort and wish you luck on try #2.
