Pics of Seahorses BREEDING!! Male is now eating!
 

Well, I'm assuming that the male seahorse is fine now because I just saw them making mad passionate seahorse loving. He inflated & spread his pouch opening & her ovipositor (egg depositing tube) is extended. Tried taking pics but they're doing it in the dark (a cave) so the flash is too invasive & I stopped after 1 try.

Will update soon.

Haha,

That's awesome. What size of tank do you have for your seashorses?

It's a 33g tank. Here's some photos:

I thought this was a G rated forum :redface: :rolleyes:

Glad to hear your SH is doing better... Nothing better than a little lovin' following a traumatic event.... always makes me feel better :eek:

Kudas give birth to very small fry. Gestation is about 14 days. Newly hatched brine will be too big for the kuda fry to eat. NOW is the time to set up your green water/rotifer hatchery so the fry will have food to eat.

Here are a few resources from Google:

Long, but informative article on rearing fry (and just about everything else about SHs):

Good luck :biggrin: :cool:

I saw the male suck down some PE Mysis today so now I think the bristleworm episode is over.

Whew.

Thank you everybody for your concern & prayers during this whole SH soap opera.
