Wow, I had been tied up for the past week and had not checked in. I never meant to stir up controversy, I just wanted folks to watch what I considered a very cool event. We can probably all agree that new life is a miracle anyway :-)
Thanks, it's very kind of you. I worked at a pet store for 12 years and I always tried to do my best to make sure every animal was going to a well informed home, so they would have the best chance of having a good home. I try to provide that for my pets too. I am glad your kids enjoyed it...
I am sorry kare-bear but I won't be raising these babies. They had a prior brood Oct 29th and I am still caring for them. Seahorses, even H erectus require a huge commitment and I can't give them that right now with the juveniles that I still have. Only so much time, money and energy to go...

Adam gave birth to his 2nd batch of fry today. I knew from his prior delivery that he carried them about 19 days and again it was exactly 19 days. I guess that make today Fry-day!

Thanks sirrealism for such kind words. You are right about there being a lot more knowledge out there now. Reading on forums was very helpful as seahorse keepers who are doing it could advise me. I lost 3-4 fry in just 1 week to just wasting away and had no idea what was wrong. A keeper with...
Whoa baby, this skimmer is a beast! When I saw the box outside my door last night I thought, " O my, I hope it fits in my sump!" LOL I can laugh out loud because it did fit. It would be COL, (cry out loud) if it hadn't.
I just added a major upgrade, (or at least I hope it is) to the system. I have been running 2 prizm pro protein skimmers, 1 on each tank. Back when I only had the 36g LPS tank it was pretty good for what I needed. I sorely misjudged how inadequate it would be for a seahorse tank though. My...
