welcome to src pagarus1 and congratulation on ur success of your fries.

happy reefing

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.

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.

Always something more important than fish.

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.

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.

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.

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.
