Caring for Cuttlefish
Ғылым және технология

Raising cuttlefish in captivity from helpless eggs to full-grown predators can present daunting challenges for an aquarium. In order to ensure they have cuttlefish to exhibit, the Monterey Bay Aquarium's staff takes extra measures and provides these complex cephalopods a helping hand. Using recycled soda bottles, modified cradles, and deep knowledge of each species' husbandry, 95% of the cuttlefish spawned at Monterey Bay Aquarium survive into adulthood.

A 6 months to 2 yrs lifespan for any creature is just way too damn short :( Even some insects and spiders have longer lifespans than that :(

These Monterey Bay Aquarium episodes are absolutely astonishing. I have always had a fascination with cephalopods and with SciFri covering this topic it's a complete win. Thanks so much for the videos.

Boring? They literally can change into thousands of different patterns and colors. They also change their shapes into looking like different creatures. They are the most interesting creature.

Wow you can tell this guy is passionates about this and he almost cried which nothing wrong with that. Great job man, doing what you love and provide exhibits to the public!
It’s unbelievable that such an intelligent & fascinating animal only has such a short life. I would’ve thought they’d live longer in captivity.
I live cuttlefish! Having recently photographed them while diving in Thailand, theyre pretty amazing creatures

This is the smallest of the cuttlefish...and they are amazing creatures. The larger are remarkable as they flit and change their appearance. Neon is a word that applies to them in the purest sense. Sadly they do not live long. Love the information...I am learning! I am also sharing so others may understand the magnificence of our oceans and what marine life means to our planet and humans. Yes, I'm a scuba diver...
The video mentioned that Cuttlefish are absent in the Americas, yet I saw a pair of them in Panama!

Why do almost 30 people dislike this I love see cretures.
I love this they r so cute🦑🦑🦑
They only live two years!!! Damn it. I was going to get a big tank and get a few.
3:40 unique in the sense they can invert different waves of color camouflage while constantly moving. where an octopus can only produce a solid base of camouflage. the real trick would not being able to transmit any heat trail while moving and staying clothe. Good luck
What temperature are they keeping them to slow and extend thier life cycle?
Interesting methods to raise them...
Cuttlefish need lots of snuggles.

Is it legal to buy cuttlefish as pets? Where can I buy a few?

+atam mardes your best bet may be to research your local laws about keeping them as pets, after that I would contact a few professional aquarists or sea aquariums to find a reliable source to buy your own after you've done extensive care research :)
do not touch the flamboyant cuttles they are venomous if u see animal with bright red color it means its poisonous but ladybugs poison is not dangerous for humans only for very small animals

That's like saying that animals are real life Pokemon. Pokemon are fictional creatures based off real animals, not the other way around.
Did you know that if cuttle fish don't have enough food to eat they turn on one another and eat each other.
