    i know cuttlefish arent as good at escaping as octopus and dont need quite as large a tank.so say i get a 14 gallon tank do you guys think i could fit at least 1 in there? i know they only get about 2 inches long. and the guy in the article had 7 in a 25 gallon tank

    Cuttlefish don't escape, but they do spit water out of the tank. That means you'll need to make sure any outlets or powerstrips are where they can't spit water on them. They are just as messy eaters as octopuses, though, so you'll need really good filtration.
