He started (they started???) to eat just now, so basically 2 hours after birth.
Now it seems that both heads are agree about their body.
That was not the case 1 hour ago... it seems they weren't able to coordinate with the same body.
They still do not hitch.

raise it, ten thousand dollar sygnathid /bet. that should be mighty hard to raise you deserve ten if you pull it off, there are fish aficionados who would consider that picture alone rare and worth book documentation I bet. how is the snout/rostrum on the little one is it normal

it needs to be able to self feed from that side

They have both normal heads and snoots and eat from both sides
If it survives i don t plan to sell him

I'm floored by this post. That little guy is worthy of a spot feeding for lifetime I wouldn't care if it took single caviar eggs one every hour for the rest of its life it should be provided LOL

Next up is digestive output can you see any type of fecal production

Well, i didn t paid attention, he is housed with his sisters and brothers.
I switched off the light at 10:00 instead of 8:00 pm to allow him to feed as much as possible for the night to come.
I m still expecting to find him dead tomorrow...
If he can make it, i will take the same care for him than the others... the best i can do!
