    Now if you could keep them paired up and raise the offspring generation after generation that would be worth it in my eyes. Not only do you get to keep them long term but you also get to see some good out of your labor.
    Only thing is putting the required time in... which few of us actually have :(

    they always used to reccomend that if youw ere to buy one only do so if you have the means to breed them, but i believe they have made quite some headway in breeding them in captivity. sure it would be great if someone who did purchase one bred them but it cannot be required of them. im thinking of ordering one, i dont know about breeding them as i hear its quite challenging but if i can and have the funds i will.

    My above statement to seano is in complete.

    Should've read "if it's the most common species of cuttlefish"

    That was the day I was off my meds. ::)


    Anyhow. Richard Ross is "the nations expert" on cephs. He raises Sepia bandensis and sells the eggs if you jump through his hoops.

    Anybody that wants to get into these animals needs to go tonmo.com and do some serious research first.

    RC doesn't support linking images from their site so they auto block them.
