This is the fourth cuttlefish I caught this month, this has to be one of the biggest cuttlefish I have caught so far. As I caught 2 really small cuttlefish the other day, I came up with this crazy idea of having a reef tank in my house and keep them for further "studies". I have always wanted to be a Marine Biologist and I thought this was a good way for me to be one now. I went on to read up on cuttle fish.
Do you know this about the Cuttlefish?
- has an internal shell (the cuttlebone)
- has large W-shaped pupils
- has blood of a cuttlefish is an unusual shade of green-blue
- Average lifespan in the wild: 1-2 years
This few interesting facts would have make me start a small project of keeping some of them. But there is still a part of me that knows that keeping one alive in a tank would have meant that I have to sacrifice many more that would have come before it.
I started to ponder about it, it would be better if I stop thinking about this and confuse on my next hunt for my squid, cuttlefish and octopus. My adventure continues!
