O my, I never get over enjoying how cute seahorse fry are. I can see that some of them are eating quite well with their little orange tummies!
This picture was taken yesterday...
And then, today...
Thanks GreybeardFat, happy, breeding horses... I _know_ how challenging seahorses can be.
Once upon a time, I made a pretty serious attempt with seahorses. After several rounds of hydroids and GBD, loosing horses far to frequently, I decided not to attempt it any longer. All I have left is memories... and a few photos Magnificent creatures.
Lucie, you take amazing pics! They are so detailed and clear. Very nice.New pictures!
Keeping seahorses is work and raising them is a whole other level. I raised 15 out of 22 my first batch but it was so labor intensive for 4 months that I give away all the fry I have now. I do not live near the ocean either so hatching, enriching and cleaning the artemia was exhausting. Still it was an enriching experience so I am glad I did it once.Fat, happy, breeding horses...

Thanks, I collect live food also and I am always looking for tips and tricks. What do you mean shrimp structures? Did you set something up in your collecting area? What do you look for when collecting food?I collect them with a pool net, wading, or by shaking out of the water some underwater structures (shrimp structures on purpose). I choose what i want to catch depending of what i need for the seahorses.
These days i especially need very small shrimps to feed juveniles. Pictured is 1 of 6 meals per day for 3 juveniles (1.2 to 2") + frozen commercial mysis
Mysis are harder to reach when temperature increase in summer. I catch mainly mysis in winter, when they come in very shallow area.
Your seahorses are the most beautiful colors! My herd of 3 are all shades of brown, LOL.
