This is awesome. Not only does this person breed a species of small cuttlefish in captivity, his tank set up is this beautiful steampunk-esque work of art. My eyes are green as Magic's with pure envy, let me tell you. Actually, I'm just happy that cephalopods are being captive bred now---ok, any marine life, because casually stripping reef wildlife for sale to the general public is painfully unethical on so many levels, but that's another soapbox.

I just happen to love cuttlefish extra. If I had a bigger house (couldn't live with the white noise caused by the tank) and was willing to have a dedicated generator for the tank when our power goes out, which it does every winter, oh, and unlimited funds, I would SO do this. My mind always drifts to this when I'm riding the bike trainer. I mean, how can you not love them? They are so cute.

Cuttlefish Army! That was fantastic, and I love the photos. My husband and I love to see them at the local aquarium; it's great to see some captive-bred ones. (cowfish icon because I need to make a cuttlefish one, still :D) Thanks for the link! :D

cephalopods are SO awesome. I love it when I get to see them in aquaria, too. That they are being captive bred now is just something I find wonderful.

That cowfish is really cute. :D
