Hey guys. took the kiddies on a seahorse tour on our mini vacay this summer. it's located in Kona, Hawaii. here is the link. it was pretty cool and they've just started aquaculturing cardinals, pipefish, ogo seaweed, and frogfish. Thought i'd share some pics.

This is the lava brackish water pond where they bred the red shrimp that they feed the seahorses.

yeah for sure. too bad. my yellow pony i had recently kicked the bucket. my 2 football xxl clowns beat the scat out of him when he went to "their" corner of the tank. messed up part is that he just stayed there (i assume) and took the beating. by the time i took him out and put him in QT he was worse for wear. he was a cool lurker like you! hahahaha!
