Look What I FOUND off Bedok Jetty

[jem]

ok..this is not exactly what i found..

but my uncle..

he was fishing off bedok jetty and while netting some of the fishes he have caught..

he found this little fella

he then called me up and asked me if i wanted ot...with excitement i agreed frantically

now back at home..i place this guy in a small tank..

dripped bit by bit of my tank's water to acclimitise it to the current one..

hope this guy survive..been 3 days a;ready

what should i feed it?..im giving it mysis shrimp and dried brine shrimps

any experts can identify it too?

Most probably Hippocampus kuda which can be found in local waters. Feed less brine shrimp and more mysis. Brine shrimp are less nutritious. You could try raising a few female mollies/guppies with 1 male in the same tank. They do fine in seawater once acclimatized. The newborn fry will be eaten readily by the seahorse. It is best to have the fry born in seawater. They don't last long if they are born in freshwater and dumped straight into seawater.

my guess is that it is a tiger-tail!

i noticed the black stripes on the tail..

[LoReNsIa]

Wow....thats something i do not know. FW fishes can be acclimatized to live in marine systems? Really interested to know how you do it, bro Fuel. What types of FW fishes can be converted to a marine fish?

becoz they're actually blackish water fish

mollies / puffer (figure 8, spotted ..etc) can adapt easily..

just progressively increase the salinity of their tank water over period or a week or so

Which mean archer fish and tetra should be able...this seems possible as I've seen a documentary on cable regarding in the "Equator" series where there is place that mangroves swamp creatures and coral creatures live side by side...kind of difficult to accept it at first until I watch it again. It was on cable... gonna try with neon tetra...hahaha...hope my wife not going scream at me...cos it kind of evil to experiment with these tiny lives...
