[bradswick]

Yea I have been looking for one for about a month now and I can't find one but I really would like one. Pls if anyone has any suggestion for me to look?

I've seen it on this site before but it looks like they're out of them or not selling them anymore. Maybe you could check periodically.

NYAquatic offers the finest saltwater fish for the home aquarium

Liveaquaria occasionally gets them in.

special breeders is really the only place you'd find it. not many people do it because not many people keep cuttles

i would love to have one myself though

 

[bradswick]

Man does anybody know any private sellers?

 

[bradswick]

Cause I want to find in of those bad *** flamboyant cuttlefish there the craziest carnivore if seen yet

I saw a tank full of them in an aquarium once. There was a little info posted next to the tank. Fact: If you wave to cuttlefish, they'll "wave" back. It was so cool and a little eerie! lol

Erm, I hope you don't mind me asking what kind of experience you have along with how you plan to house it?

My understanding is it requires a lot of space. Whenever I see it in the fish market for sale, its normally about 2-3 feet long. Do you have the space?

I'd really advise against a flamboyant; they're extremely venomous/poisonous, almost to the point of a blue ring octopus

Sepia bandensis would be the species you should look for, one of the more common species and you can keep one in a 30G!

I would take a look at the forum above. Not only are they a great source of information, but they sell eggs when their cuttlefish breed.

I don't believe they would sell one of their babies to you without you being properly set up, so they'll make sure you're equipped for cuttles. Be prepared to answer their questions.

I second that. Tonmo is a great website for cephalopods.
