Good morning reef2reef! Over the weekend my LFS helped me confirm that at least one of my male seahorses is pregnant! I've been trying to find a solid answer on how to successfully raise some seahorses online but haven't had any luck yet . If ANYONE has any experience with this can you please give me some advice? I've been eyeballing some 10 gallon tank set ups at Petco to transfer my seahorse into when he's ready to blow, but anything beyond that I have no idea what to do. If anyone has any ideas your help would be very appreciated!

start your bbs now , I like to have some 1week - 3 week old bbs as trying to raise seahorses on newly hatched bbs becomes a energy sink at later stages…. also cop some enrichment ( very important) , main thing being clean clean and clean water so stock up on salt and containers … live phyto in the tank helps (keeps food enriched and helps somewhat on water quality)

I’ll leave room for others to chime in but trust me on this: clean tanks and gut loaded enriched brine shrimp are the keys
BTW I NEVER worried about keeping them in those circulating contraptions
