cuddle fish

jessie · Oct 2, 2004

has anyone ever had any experience with cuddlefish. im not interested in getting one right now. i just seen some for sale and i was wondering if anyone has ever kept one? if so, how hardwere they to keep? were they very active? what size was the one you had? are there any special needs? is there anything that you can keep with them that they wont eat? any info you have would be appreciated.

If you spell it "cuttlefish" your searching will yield more results

Awww, now i want a cuddlefish. We'll pass the time snuggling in front of the fireplace watching the snow fall down peacefully outside...

I've heard they can be quite difficult to keep...most not making it withing the first few weeks.

Even though they do look small, you need at least a 90gal. tank for them...they reach 16" in length.

You need something like triple the filtration and quite a large skimmer, as well, because like octopus, if they ink and it isnt taken out of the water quickly, it will kill them.

Check out this website...it belongs to a guy from another forum (www.grimreefers.com) that I'm on the most.
