Woke up to a suprise this morning!
I knew there must have been something waking me up early.... I got up... looked in my seahorse tank and saw....
BABIES! I didn't even know my male was pregnant! You can imagine my suprise... I've only had my ponies a few weeks and they are already breeding. So I set up an emergency fry tank and started decapsulating some baby brine shrimp. EEEEK I hope some survive! These are TINY buggers. I mean, less than 1 cm in length from head to tail. Some pictures! After removing them from the parent's tank: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...00/babies1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...00/babies2.jpg The fry tank: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0/babytank.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...00/babies3.jpg And the little buggers: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...00/babies4.jpg :D -Diana |

Diana,
PMed you back some info. Cool pix. Congrats on the baby ponies & good luck with their care. Anthony |
Just wondering if anyone has used the baby seahorses as live feed for their reef tank? assuming you are not capable of breeding the necessary foods for them to live.
|
that is awesome :mrgreen: Good luck & keep us posted
|
wow.. those little ponies sure are small.
Good luck raising them!! :biggrin: |
What species are they? I'm thinking they are too small to eat newly hatched brine shrimp until they get a bit bigger. For the next few weeks, they will probably only eat rotifers. Hope I am wrong, though. Good luck with them :)

Congrats on the little babies! I wish you the best of luck in raising them!
Chad, I know that corals will eat them if they manage to land on a sticky part of a brain or such, and I know people who's fish in the same tank as the horses have eaten them. Not quite sure how good a food it is though? Chris |
