Default 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:




The fry tank:




And the little buggers:

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.

Ah I've been doing several water changes a day for these little buggers. I'm feeding brine that are a few hours old.... and I added selcon to the older ones (about a day old) and will try to feed those. Hopefully they will transfer some of it to the fry.

It still looks like only a few are eating the brine... but I guess its better than none!
