I am aware but I am not too sure what to do.

I don't want to 3 dead seahorses in my tank. I know if they go back they are going to be dead for sure, but at $65 SH it is hard on my pocket. On the other hand I don't want to support (WC) seahorses and if I keep them I am supporting LFS to stock (WC) seahorses.

I am not sure what to do we are? Any ideas anyone? What should I do?

If I keep them they might die soon I have them eating a bit but not like other H. Kuda's. I have been taking to a lot of owners on www.seahorse.org.

I would keep them It's the only way they have a chance to live.If you transport them back to the lfs if they make it will just get sold to someone else.I would try to raise them money is less important than seahorses.

It is not all about the money I have spent over $100 on food in the last week for these guys. By keeping them I am telling my LFS that it is ok to sell (WC) seahorses.

Thanks for your input.

No I agree with you, I want to keep them but I not sure I should. I don't want to see any more (WC) seahorses in Calgary and if they have 3 dead ones in there tank and they lost money. I don't think they will order them again.

What you think?

Eric

Well that is a hard question to answer really. If you take them back then, they might die or die at someones house who doenst know much about them.

Or you can keep them and raise them to be great and feed them lots and watch them get fat.

Tht is the trouble of LFS owner's that don't hav ealot of Experience. They buy all this live stock and they dont know nothing about the creature let alone how to take care of them...

Default re SH

i just wanted to say....that their ignorance is no excuse.
I am not trying to bash a store..but i feel strongly about this enough to say it.
As a owner of a store, it it their responsibility to know what it is they are bringing in.
Especially when it comes to something like seahorses.
If you have done any research at all about them you know that the survival rate of WC seahorses is dismal. A large percentage of them don't even make the journey to the stores, never mind the trip to an owner's home.
That being said....
I don't know what to say about you returning them.
tough call...i truly do honour you for wanting to make a statement.
However, they will most likely die if you return them.
If they are eating well, i would personally probably keep them. If you have doubts about them making it, then i would return them.
Just another one of my 2 cents
Neal
