Fish Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Nice seahorses. Thought I would share my two reidi from ORA. Tank raised and had them for almost a year. They are really fun fish to watch. I have a mandarin that eat frozen food in there with them so feeding is no problem. Sorry for the bad picture.

jason7504 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 nice horses fish! yeah i love watching them..how big were they when you got them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 They were pretty small. About three inches. I'm gonna breed them when they become adults. The male is now about 5 inches and the female is catching up quick at about 4.5". They should reach about 6 inches. Oh, I feed mine live once in a while as a treat and they go back to frozen without a problem. You shouldn't have a problem either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just my experience with feeding my seahorses. I feed them mainly mysis and brine with spirulina. My seahorses even ate chunks of krill. I don't use supplements. I may use some when I attempt to breed them. The only down side is they can only go a day without food and the general rule is once a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a close up profile for me. Sorry to be a pain on the request, I am just curious about something. The snout looks a bit off, but it could just be the angle. Reidi are my favorite seahorses I have ever owned, mine got over 8" I have seen one over 11". The fry are a pain in the butt, but if I can help let me know. Such a fun species. IME feeding live once a week, the seahorses went back to frozen without a hitch, pardon the pun. I would feed artemia for my "fasting day". On the other hand my Reidi never ate frozen and I had to feed them live ghosts every day for 6 years, the joys of WC's. Got expensive.
