WCSeahorse Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi everyone, I am breeding/raising seahorses, currently working with erectus. I am working on obtaining some other species to put into production next spring/summer. For now though I have a few hundred nice erectus that are starting to color up great! Any other seahorse keepers here? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Awesome, always glad to see someone breeding sustainable species for our tanks! I know that pacific east aquaculture (sponsor on here) breeds them. Which color are you breeding? When you get some raised, let me know, wife has been nagging me for years to set up a horse tank for here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSeahorse Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I am starting to select for yellow and orange, however I am not going to sell based upon color at this point as they can and do change depending upon environment . I have attached a couple photos of the seahorses from a week or so ago. I will update with another photo of the oldest batch, they are turning yellow and orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 There is a breeder here in my neck of the woods, where are you located? I am a coral guy but I still like a good seahorse tank, I look forward to seeing some pics of the parents and brood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Last time I came by there was Seahorses everywhere, I presume you are expanding since they were getting good size to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'm gonna need your contact info. I'm getting ready to start an nps/seahorse tank next week. Gonna be a few months but I like the idea of local tank bred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSeahorse Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yup, this is Colby. Here are some updated pictures, I am a horrific photographer, I apologize for that. These ones are about 5 weeks old and eating winter harvest Hikari chopped mysis. And these guys are just about three weeks, eating 48hr old enriched artemia and frozen cyclops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
