Keep up the good work. Sounds like it takes a lot of effort and time to raise these little guys... I'd say your definitely doing something right here as well.

WTG!!
My Kudas' just had babies on Monday. This is my 3rd attemp at raising the fry. While waiting for my rotifers to "grow out" I have been feeding them frozen cyclopeeze and they seem to manage with that ok. I don't get big brood sizes like you do, though each time I have had fry the number seems to be increasing. Day 10 for me has always been the critical day, so I am hoping to make it past day 10 this time. Glad you started a journal, it is very helpful to me and also very interesting! As for starting to feed bbs, maybe check out http://www.seahorse.org/ I found allot of useful information. They were a great help to me when my horses came down with worms (ewww). Fortunately I was able to get the meds they needed and treat them and they are back in good health  Good Luck and keep us updated!

Brine shrimp..............
Hey Howdy , Don't know if it will help but ,when I raised thousands of freshwater angels , you could see if they were feeding by the pink colour of their little bellies ,which also extended noticably. Maybe the same thing would work with your little guys. Just a thought......................Dave
P,S. you could just syringe a few shrimp into the rearing tank and watch the bevaviour of the sea horses,again small angel fry can be seen attacking the shrimp .Using a magnifying glass helps . Good Luck

When you hatch brine shrimp you can purchase decapsulated brine shimp or capsulated. When you use capsulated ones, you avoid getting the shells by only draining to a certain point.
If you want I can send you a video link about brine shrimp.

brine shrimp
Howdy, You dont need decapsulated eggs ,too expensive anyway. If you use the pop bottle method ,when you turn off the air ,the shells float to the top and the shrimp can be drained into a sieve through bottom . It is very easy .It works a treat !! I will try to find a link that shows the set up .............Dave

day 12 - 11 Nov 06
Well, 5 more bodies.
I was finally able to count. 15 left but at least most of them are looking strong. still happy with the results I am going to start another batch of brine shrimp and I will try feeding them tomorrow. Wish me luck They are definitely getting bigger. Much easier to see their features now Neal
