I have my 40g Mysis tank with a baby separator cycling now and I've added a sump and skimmer since my last try at breeding them and bought some finer screen to separate the smallest ones betterI worked with breeding and raising cuttle fish. They require a lot of food which I would setup up first.
Mysid shrimp which also need to be feed. I used to collect a lot of amphipods at the ocean to feed the to.
One of the major marine suppliers pet stores use in Mass/NH sells the eggs. They are a gamble many do not hatch.
I took several videos at different ages and mating

im just about ready to have another go at breeding cuttlefish and im looking for a local store that might have eggs in stock any help would be appreciated
I already have a few mailorder sources in mind but id like to avoid shipping if posible
I put in a request for eggs from them about a year ago, have called back and left my number several times and never got any results. if I wer you I would contact unique aquaria they are selling captive bred cuttles from reef gen now.
I now have five baby cuttles ranging in size from 1/4 in to 1 inch witch I got from blue zoo. theyr eating ghost shrimp and Mysis.
the reef gen cuttles are expensive but to get a healthy three month old cuttlefish it will easly cost you $300-400 with shipping in Mysis shrimp alone unless you can find a good local source to get them cheaply and if you don't use Mysis you baby cuttles will most likely die
