Breeding Seahorses

[Key Equine]

Also, Sharon, do you know what type of seahorses you have? Certain species are easier to raise than others... Unfortunately my breeding pair are H. Comes (Tigertail) which are quite difficult to raise. It will be a challenge!!

There was someone up in edmonton breeding a couple years ago (ok 2005ish) ; don't believe I've heard much since...

BBS are REALLY easy to hatch, but may not be the best food source... Rotifers are a bit more involved (never done it myself so i'll stop there). Seem to recall one of the setups I liked from the horse boards was an air driven lift pump system that used a HUGE fuge of chaeto stocked up with pods etc...

We have hippocampus erectus and from what I have read so far they may be one of the easier ones. This is one of the reasons I have decided to give it a try. I have read some of them are way more complex in raising.
