Cool, they are so tiny. Good luck Ryan I will be watching to see how you are doing.

Cool! They look healthier than mine

So you feed them phyto? I thought rotifers where the way to go? Oh never mind I decided to actually read your post,

How are they for size compared to the reidi fry?
If a touch larger, and if they are hitching, you may be able to switch to bbs very soon, if not include them with the rots right now.
How did the last batch work out that you gave away?

Thanks guys! I will keep the thread updated every few days or so.

Ray~ They look to be a little larger than the Reidi fry, but not much. I will track down some bbs asap. The last batch I gave away only made it a couple of days. I don't think they had a sufficient food supply as he was trying to feed them pods.

Don't forget to decapp the cysts before hatching so that the fry don't ingest stray empty or unhatched cysts. They lodge in the digestive tract and cause death by starvation.
If you don't remember how to decapp, e-mail me and I'll refresh your memory.

Actually most seahorses do better at a lower temp (68-74) so room temp seems to be ok for the fry.
