SeahorseBT · 03-20-2009, 10:14 PM

Thanks.

Hopefully he is pregnant.

That macro looks awesome, when are you fraggin that stuff?

SeahorseBT · 03-21-2009, 12:05 AM

I actually took off one frag today. When I see areas to frag the rock I am going to. I want to make sure the macro is attached to the rock well and then I will start shipping them out.

SeahorseBT · 03-25-2009, 06:09 PM

The macro frag is doing well. Do any of you guys have any ideas on how to ship it? I don't want to waste a styro on just one algae. Do they make mini styros?

The male is getting ready to pop. I think he is going to have some stretch marks from this one. He is due this weekend. Pics are not the best but you get the idea:

Papa seahorse is going into his maternity tank tonight. 2 weeks will be tomorrow. I have the fry tank ready. The suspense is killing me! I hope they will be born Sunday because it is my little sisters birthday. That would be cool. We will see...

Love the thread! I recently gave my 8'' erectus away to a breeder.

She will be happier there but I raised her from 4'' and I worry. (on grass shrimp from the IRL if you are interested - their natural food when they get larger - if any seahorse keepers are in FL and interested I can teach you how to catch shrimp if you are so inclined - guy said it is a rarity that they were that bg, but all my horses get that size. Maybe it is the food?). Seahorses have a level of intelligence that makes you feel for them more than most fish I think. Glad to see such a great environment for them. Nice tank.

SeahorseBT · 03-30-2009, 02:28 PM

Thanks for stopping by John! Wow 8" is a big one. They are very smart. They are very observant and know when it is feeding time.

I just looked in the maternity tank and saw 4 BABIES! The rest can't be far behind....

SeahorseBT · 03-31-2009, 08:33 PM

They are here! About 200 of them! I'll get some pcis later.

SeahorseBT · 04-01-2009, 12:50 PM

Here are the pics as promised:

This is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes! Congratulations, Blake. Awesome!

SeahorseBT · 04-01-2009, 01:27 PM

Thanks Barb! It is really awesome when you know your fish are happy enough to have babies. Let's hope that I can raise them!

Papa seahorse is courting like crazy right now!
