Hi Darren,
Well, I have nine tanks. All but two are saltwater. I raise and breed seahorses. Also have fish tanks with all kinds of water critters I enjoy very much. Am getting ready to buy another 150G.reef.and get rid of some of the smaller tanks. At the moment, I am enjoying 64 baby seahorses that are three months old now. They are just too cute!

Hello,

1) Welcome.

2) Oh my god! So many seahorses. Um... you know some people dry them for herbs....

We've got some family on my wife's side in Houston - a loose connection is better than none!

Welcome from Calgary, where most of our corporate offices report to Houston also.

Cheers,

AJ

What type of pony's do you have? How hard are they to feed? I am thinking of getting some.

Hi, I have H.Erectus,Kudas,Histrix.All of my babies are H. Histrix. They all eat live food.Ghost shrimp, Adult Brine shrimp(enriched),baby mollies and guppies,etc. I am in the process of training my babies to eat frozen mysis shrimp. I would make one suggestion, to only purchase captive bred seahorses and not wild caught.I researched for a long time before I ever purchased my first horse.Hope that answers some of your questions

Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome! Nice to see some fellow Texans here.
Yes, I am aware that some people abuse seahorses in a lot of ways but I will stay with the garden variety of herbs, thank you very much! :eek: These are really magnificent creatures but I do find them to be a greater challenge to keep than any of my other water critters but well worth it to me.
