Wow! I've never seen anyone with flamboyant eggs! Definitely my dream ceph. I have experience with sepia bandensis as well as octopus briareus. I haven't been on the forums in a long time but are you posting on tonmo? I'm sure they'd love to see this. This is the first hobbiest level breeding of flamboyants I've heard about although since I stopped keeping cephalopods I haven't kept up on the news.}
What temp do you keep the water?
What are you currently feeding the babies?
Congrats you should certainly share your great experience with as many people as possible. I'd love to see more photos and videos of your system. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man, I haven’t seen anyone with eggs that isn’t Monterey bay before either and very little info around albeit Monterey did a write up a guy on UR found for me yesterday.
Water temp currently 25.0-25.3 just to reduce metabolism - may have to up this slightly for the babies as growth fast is important.
First hatchling was yesterday - tank is full of small amphioods and feeding small brine and mysis, trying to identify what’s best to feed but very early days. Think the main challenge is finding what they’ll eat - feeding the right quantity and then finding a supplier at the moment.
Tank setup is just a rsm 175 with breeding chambers - I suppose after the outlay for the 8ft I couldn’t justify bigger for the three adults I have!
