fry temp

What temp do you keep your erectus fry tanks at

Same as adult display tank. Some will be higher and some lower depending on individual keepers preferences.

Does anybody know the effect of temperature on sex? That would likely be related more to brood tank temperature than rearing tank temperature.

 

[rayjay]

While temperature CAN have an affect on the seahorses MATING habits, in my 17yrs now in the hobby, I've NEVER heard of temperature affecting the sex of what is produced.

I know it can with a lot of other species. I was curious if it effected sea horses as well.
