i use ro/di, i had the cuttle for about 3 months, i think something got into the water, outside toxin

Was this one of the octopets cuttles? What size tank was it in and what were you feeding it?

yes this cuttle was from octopets, it was in a 55g, i fed it ghost shrimp and somtimes a crab with its claws taken off

How big was it? That species is pretty skittish and gets big, so a 55 is pretty small.

cuz cooked ones dont tend to get any dead-er when transported, live cuttles are very sensitive to travelling stresses and none are found naturally in American waters

And its easier to catch one that you are gonna kill!

it was very tiny when i got it, i was planning on moving it to a 120g

as far as being skittish, mine was not, it would actually come over and watch me while i was at my computer
