Hi guys, not sure if i'm off topic but i wld really like to know what's the feeding & nature of this 'squid' like living stuff is. saw an actual before & it's really beautiful! care share some comments too? thanks!

[surfedelic]

It is a predator bro ... I am sure you don't want to wake up one morning and find your precious tangs and angel disapearing

I saw it at Pasir ris also ..... a friend of mime also interested .. went back but too late .... exported.

[hamannbmw]

it should be left in the sea...

[Zero Oxygen]

it should be left in the sea...

yup agree, there wont live long in capture......

[desbug13]

but strangely is 1 of my friend who got it manage to keep it well till power failure. it need low temp thou. so far all his fishes were ok leh.

trying to get a pic for ur to see.

I tink it isn't too hard to keep, but u need good filtration in case the fella squirts its ink and also, u need to feed it live food..... a species tank is also much preferred...

Juz my $0.02...

Will need to obtain a low temperature as it is from deep water... Yah... A species tank is preferred... Need live food... A very tall tank(I mean very tall) and low lighting is preferred...

[Gouldian]

Nautilus are very premitive sea creatures that live in the deep. Not much is known about their basic husbandry as such, it is best be left in the nature.

Just my 2 cents......

[desbug13]

wow....looks like quite jialat to keep it. anyway was waiting for it to come till my LFS told me it cant make it. it died before being shipped.

my tank has low temp (btn 22 to 24 degrees) so it's still quite alrite to keep it. so now....got to wait.

I hate them when they start knocking on the tank glass. Give me that feeling.

[desbug13]

knocking? u mean when their shells knock on the glass?

maybe i got it wrong. the nautilus i mention is some kind like fossil. especially the shell. very nice!

[RAV-65]

Oh.... I juz realised that we're not talking about a cuttlefish!

Dun like dat lah bro... I veddy paiseh liao....

[Terryz_]

Okaie... Hehehe...

[RAV-65]

Opps!

[sps_dude]

imo.... u need a rally tall tank,.,,..... around 4 feet high....... this animals are built to withstand pressure from the deep.... the primary reason this animals die easily is because the collectors dont usually de- pressureise them....... and u will need a chiller of rating for 6 feet tank........ and preferably u cant keep any fish with it......

[desbug13]

yes it does lives in deep water. anyway dun hv the chance to hv it as it died b4 it is been packed.

our dear rav-65 likes cuttlefish. wait i cuttlefish u ar....haha.

[desbug13]

finally got a pic of it.
