Hello Dick,

See

Feeding

Sepiola all fed avidly on immature shrimp of between 10 and 30 mm which were
provided in small numbers (10-12) at twice-daily intervals. (However they
did not appear to take prawn of the same size range.)

Feeds on live daphnia and frozen brine shrimp, but needs encouragement to
feed and this is a worry at first. Finicky feeder, usually taking food only
of its preferred size, e.g. my small 55 mm fish will prefer frozen Artemia
to frozen mysis. After a bit (2 weeks), the fish will now take frozen mysis
as readily as Artemia (brine shrimp).


I have kept this small cuttle, but I cannot remember for how long.

Cheers


Andy Horton.

Subject: [wetthumb] Sepiola?


The other day as I was returning with my shrimping net (a modified pond
net) I saw a moving object in a rock pool. Imagine my surprise and
delight when I looked in the net and found I had caught a lesser
cuttlefish. I have it in my tank but it is still sulking after two
days and spends the time buried in the sand. There are lots of small
shrimps in there with it but I was wondering what dose it normally
eat? Does anybody know? I'd like to tempt it with its favourite
food. Does it eat small crabs like its larger relative?
