SRC Member LaW Posted October 19, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 19, 2009 welcome to src pagarus1 and congratulation on ur success of your fries. happy reefing Quote If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless. Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. || Tank: 78" x 30" x 30" || Sump: 48" x 22" x 20" || Lights: PowerModule 10 X 80W|| Returns: 2 x HF32 || || Skimmer: BubbleKing Supermarin 300 || Wavemaker: 3 x 6100 & 1 x 6200, 2 x Wavebox 6212, WavySea || || FR: 2 x FR150 || NR: Sulphur Denitrator || CR: RM Custom Made 8" || KR: Deltec KM500 || TopUp: Tunze Osmolator 3155 || || UV: Coralife 12X 36W || Ozonizer: Sanders C200|| Controller: GHL Profilux Plus II Ex || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Breeding seahorses are tough, due to the food supply issues as the fry grow. What are you using for enrichment at the moment? I can spare you some Algamac 3000 if you need.

SRC Supporter Joe_P Posted October 26, 2009 SRC Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2009 some more pixs of the same Awesome! What will you be planning to feed them with once they get alittle larger ? Was breeding redis previously and had difficulties with proper sized food source once the fries got above 1 inch in sizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagasus1 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 the nutritional needs is most important for the fries, good foundation will make them stronger, so will feed them live feeds n weaned off to frozen feed. for live feeds will be acetes larvae + enriched brine shrimps + gamarus( depending on availability) currently the fries are abt 3/4 inch at 14day old which is good size n healthy, the growth is quite consistent for most numbers n satisfactory for now.

girlanimated Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just a newbie question, I thought Kuda fry are pelagic and need a steady, drifting current to survive? From what i see it seems to be a benthic set-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagasus1 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 1 can suggest on the basic requirements, as for the aesthestics, u may like to look at some good examples in other websites on seahorse rearing. 1. 2 ft high tank 2. good canister filter with UV sterlier 3. good quality sea salt 4. lighitng 5. protein skimmer 6. hitching post bare tank system is the simplest to rear them, i wont advise live rocks unless they r completely cleaned of other crustacens n host which may attack the gentle seahorses. howver as u gain more experience, u like to include live sand n living macro algae.

pagasus1 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 the frys were kept in a small 1.5 ltr beaker for the purpose of photo taking n close up checks, the nursery tanks are 3 ft high at least. correct water circulation is to enable the feed constantly in eye view of the seahorse fries, unlike other fishes, they see the feed first with their eyes n go for it, not by scent. a seahorse fry eats at least 300-500 'enriched' artemia a day distributed over 3-4 feed time routine.
