the-obstacle Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 we've caught squid off the back of the boat at night with sprat hooks and a spotlight and little bit of bait. Whilst moored at mansion house bay so about 2-3 metres deep. as said above they come in to feed under the cover of darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 i guess that brings up another point they dont like light too much could be fun looking at a dark tank all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinefish4life Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 have you had 1 pp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 yes, both, squid are escape artists and will try to go through any small gap, over baffles, into holes etc and really aren't suitable for home aquaria, the baby cuttles were in a large rock pool with there mum, who was huge and followed me around flashing different colours etc. Also swam with dozens of small ones at Matai bay this year. The 1 baby i took home didn't survive the trip unfortunately. Having said that, both need specialist tanks, large, and both will eat any fish or invert they can get there suckers on to. Some peeps overseas are sucessfully keeping tropical cuttlefish - try reef central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
