Lucie's seahorses

[Lucie]

Here are my seahorses.
This one, Jetlag, is the first one I got.
He was bright yellow when younger.

They are very beautiful! One day my husband and I want to set up a seahorse tank. We know it needs to be done right so we are waiting until we know we can provide the best for them. Can you post a pic of your whole set up?

You can find it on Natural blue thread called something like "show us our bare bottom" but tank have changed since

This is Voodoo, another male erectus.
All the following picture are him

I will definitely take a look!

Ok, now I understand-they are pics of your pony's growth progression. I love Voodoo's cirri when he was younger. I have a young female, Delilah now who also has cirri like that and my husband and I love it. I keep reminding Dave that she will most likely lose it when she is more mature. He is in denial so I need to show him Voodoo.

I have another example or cirri most.

How old was Voodoo when he lost the cirri?

 

[Lucie]

This is Marmite (unsexed)

All pictures are him.
5 first pictures are the first 10 days I got him.
You can see the reducing of cirri and the fast color change

I have no idea but my other cirri one lost all his cirri in roughly 10 days, and he is 2" (with deployed tail)

Beautiful pictures!! Thanks for sharing them

 

[vlangel]

So you have Jetlag, Voodoo and Marmite. Do you have any other seahorses?

I am amazed at the beautiful colors your seahorses are. When I upgraded to my new tank I was hoping that the light blue/yellow back wall would encourage yellow and orange to come out in my ponies but all 3 are brown. Perhaps I have too much LR.

Beautiful @Lucie! I am always in awe of your seahorses and tanks! They are so prestine and your picture taking skills are remarkable!

I have these 3 erectus and about 120+ dwarf seahorses.
I don t expect Marmite to stay this color, it s already showing darker in some parts of the body and I believe he will turn black.
I have no background, just the white wall.
Maybe putting them with only yellow/orange/red items will make them change color?

I don t have picture taking skills, i have nice subjects!
Just need to have very clean glass, lot of patience and a good lightning.
I use a cheap compact camera!

I have looked at yellow/orange ornamental sponges multiple times but just can't bring myself to add manmade ornamentation to my tank. The truth is I think it would make my tank pop more and the general overall look would be more appealing. Who knows, someday I still may do it.
