Congrats and good luck. I can't help you, but I'd definitely be interested in a pair or a few when they grow out a bit.

Evanski9,

Where are u located - sent you PM. i will give it to you...

Do you have a brine hatchery? What type of sea horse?

 

[kdtran]

No have nothing - very unexpected. Need to give them to someone with the Know how...

 

[Blawson]

I am too far away. Have you checked your lfs to see if they can handle them.

 

[danagui]

thats kind of weird to have them breed that quickly....must have had a male that was carrying already....depending on how established the tank is u can leave them in there and start a brine shrimp hatchery (costs less than $20) and maybe pick up some artemia or other microfauna from someone on the forums....sea horses make good parents....

 

[Blawson]

Are these dwarf sea horses?

 

[kdtran]

I don't think so - they are from Vietnam. I think they are Kuda but my knowledge on this subject is limited...

Bad news update - ALL baby seahorse died. Don't know why - bought a new pico tank with back filter/pump. Pump is too strong so decided not to use it, only airstone and heater in the back chamber. Did hatch some live Baby Brine shrimp/mix it with Phytoplankton and move everything in the new tank.

The seahorse look ok in the new tank, was swimming but not eating much. Light left on for them to feed overnight and wake up in the AM and all are dead...

Oh well, didn't expect them to survive - maybe better luck next time. Will keep on reading and doing research
