like dat also can.. I beileve must be veri sad. me will. have it so long liao. like best fren.

FuEl · November 13, 2003

hehe..now you can consider going for a bare-bottom seahorse tank. :huh:

kelstorm · November 14, 2003

oh no.. hmmmm must jie ai shun bian.. jiu de bu que xin de bu lai..
hahaaa

in this case, it is difficult coz hard to wean wild caught SH to feed on frozen mysis... furthermore, hard to find SH that feeds (except for captive bred)

Right now, i only left with 1 male SH inside.. with lots of copepods to eat.... thinking of getting him another partner.. but i will wait and look ard first...

cannot xi xin yan jiu leh.. still hurts when i go home and see a tank with only 1 SH...

nah... i like the "refugium" theme....

Is it that difficult to acclimatise them? I thought the key is to handle them carefully from point of capture to the retail space. Properly handled seahorse are not that dififcult to weane, starve for 3 days, most will commence eating already. At least that was my limited experience.

kelstorm · November 17, 2003

starve for 3 days??? i cant bear to do that...

pacificbetta · November 17, 2003

starve for 3 days??? i cant bear to do that...

Why not, typical experience of a wc seahorse:

Day 1: Stop feeding 24 hrs prior to shipping.

Day 2: 1 day (hypothetical) spent in the lfs recovering from shipping shock.

Day 3: Bought by jailor to serve life sentence in a glass box.

If you bought your seahorse the day after the lfs received stocks, and your seahorse start eating the NEXT day, it would still have gone 3 days without food.

hahaha.. jailor.. i like that.. brighten up my gloomy day at work.. i cant bear to let my SH to become skinny.. i like them fat!!!

Cookiemunster · November 17, 2003

Sorry to hear about your loss bro. I also wanted to keep seahorses but couldn't find the time to really look after a pair.

Cheer up and get those red heidis now. :rolleyes:
