i have raised a few batches,it will take about 4-5 weeks before he sill spit them out,if you have a seperate tank to move him too that would be a good idea however do not net him out or he will spit them out in the net,once they hatch they will eat babybrine right away live is better but mine also ate frozen.

So if the male will spit out the babies if and when I net him then how do I move him to another tank (I have a 20 gallon hospital tank already running). What is cyclopeeze? (not sure if the LFS here in Kelowna stock it).

Also thank you Anthony (SeaHorse Fanatic) for the offer to deliver from the coast. I may take you up on it. Can I send you a PM if I decide I need anything?

Sure. Send me a pm. I have some freeze dried cyclopeeze (tiny pods) & maybe some frzn ones that I can bring with me on the trip.

I would try and use your hand and stear him into some form of bucket or clear container. My guess you don't want him "feeling" trapped like he would in a net.

ya catch him in a juice jug or something like that so he never leaves the water remember you will have 4-5 weeks before they are ready and thats only if he holds them till thier ready,the first 3-4 time mine did it they would disapear after 2-3 weeks,also i would skip the cyclopyse and just stick with the babay brine live and frozen and add selcon or some other vitamin to them.
