Cuttlefish, The Best Pet Cephalopod?

Cuttlefish have got to be on the short list of the coolest animals on the planet, though they are basically aliens. They are super intelligent invertebrate masters of camouflage. They are cephalopods like their cousins the octopus and squid, but I would argue that they might just be the best pets in that group. But is the cuttlefish a good pet? And is it the best pet cephalopod for you?

“Cuttlefish are not fish and don’t cuddle” -Clint’s Reptiles

[@sampagano205]

If you get into what animals are named, like half the names are bad and wrong. I'm still annoyed with the fact birds are technically lizard hipped dinosaurs due to phylogeny, even though they definitionally have bird like hips. And then the stereotypical saurischian hips, don't even look anything like lizard hips.

@LaumiRez "Killer whales" Orca dolphins are both whale and dolphin, All dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins. Red pandas are the original panda, that got the name panda First, panda is from the Nepal language meaning bamboo eater/eater of bamboo. "Panda bears" original names before "Panda bear" was spotted bear, Bamboo bear i prefer this name, even in modern China wear they are native there Chinese name translates as Giant bear cat not Panda.

[@sillyjellyfish2421]

9 months later i wonder... Is that still true?

[@eliseosterbrink8000]

I've spent a lot of my life around saltwater creatures. I used to scuba dive with my dad and have had a saltwater aquarium for about 10 years. I'm glad that you discussed a lot of the important basics of caring for a saltwater system- all of the people I've talked with that didn't have extensive experience didn't always know that you have to use RODI (basically totally pure) water and mix it with special ocean salt, and all of them were surprised to hear that copper kills basically everything in an aquarium. When I have to treat fish with ick and other diseases, people wonder why I have to set up a separate tank instead of just treating them in the main tank. It's because copper is highly toxic to everything, especially corals, which I have in the main tank, and the copper treatments that you can get for your fish are definitely going to kill anything that isn't a fish in your tank. A lot of people don't think about things like this and cycling a tank before impulse buying a fish or something similar. Again, I am glad that you brought up a lot of the basics about saltwater tanks instead of just getting people hyped up about how cool cuttlefish are without explaining any of the basic care and setup they'd need.

As soon as I saw this video I watched and read everything I could about keeping saltwater tanks, cephalopods, etc. Ten months ago I'd only ever had fresh water tanks. I bought all the stuff, an RO/DI unit, protein skimmer etc. My cuttlefish eggs hatched about two weeks ago and I currently have about 8 baby cuttlefish and several more eggs that look about ready to hatch. This has been the coolest project I've ever taken on and I can't thank Clint enough. Watching the cuttlefish "walk" with two of their arms, the rapid color changes, waving arms above themselves like if a tiny elephant was a snake charmer, catching live shrimp with their tiny arms they shoot out like a frog tongue... they have been so enjoyable!

[@jkishhabi]

I once scooped up a cuttlefish at a beach at Chincoteague island. My adopted son had lost his glasses in the water and I was doing a futile task of dragging my hands across the sandy bottom in the general area. The water was looking gray and mixed as it was a fairly rough surf. I felt something in my hand and eagerly brought it to the surface. It was a cuttlefish. Its color at the time was a deep, mottled gray. The funny part is that I knew I had something alive but when I saw its eyes, looking back at me with some sort of intelligence, I reacted like a little girl and screamed and threw it back in. I still wonder if it told its friends about an alien abduction and how the strange alien made a loud shriek and threw it far away. Lol

[@gigigrass6050]

Just did my AP bio presentation on the immune system of cephalopods. The common octopus was found to have actually developed a humoral response where a protein will bind to a pathogen to alert their hemocytes to consume the pathogen. It was so interesting, because being invertebrates they don't have an adaptive immune response, but they have developed a very similar mechanism despite being so phylogenetically different from humans.

[@TheDarkever]

Cuttlefish is my favorite marine animal, together with the Dolphin. They are both so unbelievably smart and majestic! (Well, unbelievably smart compared to all other non-human animals. There's obviously an abyss between us and them)

[@TH3MIN3R3000]

That could potentially be debatable in the case of cephalopods. Mostly because we don't know how to test their intelligence effectively, which is unfortunate. And also because they have evolved so differently to us. Our last common ancestor lived about 400 million years ago. So it's been a while.

[@robl5027]

This might sound bad but as well as being fascinating creatures they're also absolutely delicious! They're like a sweeter and more tender version of squid but you can't do rings because over their shell is just skin (or super thin muscle I don't know for sure).

(3) And what's your thoughts on those who say that "turtles are parareptiles"? I hope you don't mind my one comment and two questions 🙂

These little unidentified floating objects are none the less extremely intriguing to see and are one of my favorite sea animals, they are just fascinating

Really love the genuine passion and enthusiasm you have for critters! You look like you're having a blast, and the humor is on point!

[@albatross_ac]

Hey Clint, recently I’ve been in loved with a species of Frogs. I don’t know if they can be pets, BUT, if they can, can you do a video about Gliding Leaf Frogs? That would be STINKIN’ RAD!

[@ClintsReptiles]

That would be rad!

"Even rat owners feel sorry for you." God DAMN, Clint.

[@KrinchCraftHD]

Man this is so amazing. Only channel I've ever considered supporting on Patreon. The energy you bring to these videos is so next level and so inspiring. On top of that, you might've even inspired me to take on the commitment of getting a cute little hognose :)

[@FatherVulture]

Clint. Thank you for these videos. I know you may not see this because of the amount of comments there may be. But throughout Covid you kept me and my Fiancee so happy, so informed, and so intrigued by your videos. The joy and kindness you give into these videos along with the effort of all the crew that have help, even the effort of the patrons to help keep this going, mean so much to us. Thank you for doing what you do and helping these animals get the understanding and awareness they deserve.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a pet cuttlefish

[@katehuber4974]

Same, I’m just waiting for the comment that someone owns like five of the animal in question in one of these videos about truly exotic and frankly kind of weird but cool except cost kind of way

[@PlaguedByEarth]

The plural of "octopus" is "octopuses." It is not "octopi," because it is a Greek-derivative word, not Latin. A direct translation would be "octopodes," but that form is transformed into the form we are more familiar with in every other case, so "octopuses" it is. The plural of "octopus" being "octopus" has no etymological standing.

[@katelillo1932]

I think octopodes is the way to go because it’s the most fun to say.

4:58 look how the fishes got scared when he made that. That is proof that the tank behind him is real

[@conlon4332]

I don't like the idea of having something in my house that is incredibly intelligent but I've no idea what it might be thinking.

[@1414141x]

I'm seriously looking at getting a few cuttlefish and having an active aquarium so I much appreciate your advice. It's a shame that the cephalopods have such short life spans and this seems at odds with such intelligent animals. Imagine what they could do if they lived longer - especially the octopus. Anyway, great informative video.

[@risel56]

I legit thought Clint was in front of a green screen the entire video up until the bloopers.😅

[@samboyden9625]

I worked at this aquarium for years on the education team and it’s so good to see the cuttlefish are doing great!

[@VikingsFan27]

This is a network quality show. 9 out of 10 times I click on a show I am gone within the first minute. I have just watched 3 of your shows back to back. Very well made, professional production.

[@BasketOfPuppies642]

Just found this channel and have been binging your vids for a few days. I love how much you obviously enjoy what you do, and you always have great ties. Keep it up!

[@tipsfedora3714]

I am loving the streak of aquatic life that you've been doing! This is so great. Cephalopods are some of the raddest indeed.

[@deusexaethera]

I bet it would be cool to sit down in front of an aquarium with cuttlefish in it and share a bowl of cocktail shrimp with them. One for you, one for me...

[@abeearoundapomegranate5333]

I don't even need to watch this video to know that the answer is yes. When I was a kid I met one in a touch pool at an aquarium. It was friendly and interactive and actually loved being gently pet. It followed me from one edge of the tank to the other. I fantasised about having a house that had a pool built into the floor and went all around the house so that I could keep a cuttlefish.

[@guillermomorillo404]

Clint thank you for all that you do, seriously these videos are awesome !

[@xxx-ie9ic]

I have a lot of catching up to do on your channel, but I have to say this must be my favorite video of yours yet. I had the biggest smile on my face when I saw you'd made a cephalopod video. Cuttlefish are such amazing creatures. The footage you took of this one was incredible to watch. They change colors so quickly! That being said I think I'd play Subnautica if I wanted a 'cuddlefish', but being able to learn about them and appreciate them through your videos is a fantastic experience in itself. =) I hope I'm able to visit an aquarium like this and admire them firsthand someday, but this is the very next best thing. Thank you and your team for your wonderful videos!

[@billbirkett7166]

Love your channel man! I'm sort of envious that you get to make a living talking about and appreciating adorable animals!

[@ew6225]

oh clint you always give me the best video exactly when i need it. your videos truly fill my days with joy.
