We were at a low tide a few weeks back and I noticed some cuttlefish eggs and as I have done in the past, hatched them.

I have specially made containers for this.

This time I played with the temps to control the hatching, lowered the temps for one lot and raised it for the others and got one lot out in three days earlier then the others.

All of them are from the same lot and after the hatching were let go.

Very interesting G!! It never ceases to amaze me the things you're aware of and the experiments you carry out. You should have been a marine researcher and worked at seaworld. cheers
