Also test the change water to be exactly the same as the baby growout tank's (pH, salinity & temp. mainly). At this stage, they're very sensitive to changes in the water composition & being extra careful will hopefully pay off.

Not to be a downer, but if it doesn't work out, don't be too discouraged because most breeders (whether for seahorses or other species) are unsuccessful with their first batch of young. Good luck with this "new pile of extra work you weren't expecting"

Haha! To quote it perfectly anthony! LOL

I devised a good little water change strategy. I mixed a large bucket of salt water when I added the fry (part of the water they are in now is from this bucket). And there is also water in the tank around the glass bowl that is airated and the same temp as the water in the bowl. So, when doing a water change, I will remove water from in the bowl, replace that water with water from in the tank, and then replace the tank water with the bucket water.

Follow? hehe. Its a little confusing.... but that way the water going into the fry bowl will be exactly the same temp as the water in the bowl.
