Baby Syngnathid Thread

Our dwarf seahorses just had babies and they are the most adorable thing I have seen in quite some time. I've only counted 5 so far, but they are a delight. They've got some hours-old bbs and some tisbe pods to munch and are voraciously eating anything small enough to catch.

I'd love to see any and all pictures you guys have of your seahorses and pipes' babies!

I can’t answer the specific question, but I can maybe bump the thread for you to see if we can get you some help

Wasn't so much a question as me shamelessly begging to see other people's baby seahorses and pipefish noodles :)
Day 3 and they're growing quickly!

Thank you! I hadn't even realized one of our boys was pregnant. I'm hoping all of them will make it! They're so cute when they hunt.

I'll try to get some more pictures when I get home from work! Midas looks like he's in the process of adding to the herd as well!

Our second brood only had twins, but they are both doing well! We've been trying to manage our cyano outbreak, but I'm terrified to remove it with the little ones about. We've reduced the daylight hours so hopefully that will help without killing the macro thicket.
