potbelly ponies? these required extremely cooled waters which i dun think i can afford, though they are sold at a reasonable prices... how much are u looking to sell a fry for, fuel?

Barbouri juveniles, they are way past live brine shrimp stage already. Aim to get them onto P.E mysis before they are sold. Price wise will follow U.S standard as raising seahorse in tanks is much more work than raising in sea cages & there is not a lot to go around. Some will be kept for future projects for sure.

Always something more important than fish.

just a question if seahorse with liverocks onli, can they survive? do they need skimmer?

yes.. but do make sure they have sometime to hitch on.. but I wouldn't suggest that. cos one of the reasons of its color change is its environment. presents of macro algae would be preferred.

as for skimmer, IMO is preferred. cos their waste is quite a lot. they do need to be fed 2 times a day..

can be any one.. even fake plants too.. SH uses the background color to camouflage. So effectively, the color of the SH may change to its background.

another factor that affects the color is its mood. So, if we use natural habitant of the SH, it may allow the SH to feel more secure. Hence, the combination of mood plus background, the color of the SH may follow suit.

okok. Since the SH uses background color to camouflage, I will try to get more red micro aglae so that one day the SH will shift the colour to reddish instead of yellowish now lor :groupwavereversed: !

I really love seahorse. But till now ive yet to keep one. Feel like jus buy one cheap seahorse n c how it goes. But i will be a irresponsible reefer like tat.

Gd job bro... Keep it up... 

Thanks bro for ur encouragement. It's not that hard to keep 1. Just don't get a wild one for a start. Keep to the parameter n avoid aggressive fishes n shell creatures. Feed 2-3 times a day.

I will be happy to help u along the way. ^__^ Just ask.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
