Sirena Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Fred had his babies this morning. I missed the birth but there are about 300 babies in my tank that I got to see when the lights came on. It's really dark sorry....it makes me so sad that they don't live [emoji27] https://vimeo.com/179907598 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited August 24, 2016 by softy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowseahorseguy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 And they will breed every two weeks. Try lowering the temp. They tend to stop when it gets colder as it would simulate winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowseahorseguy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 My advice for the novice, is to get 4 2 liter bottles, make brine shrimp hatcheries, buy decapsulated brine eggs, phytoplankton, and Dans immunity mix from SeahorseSource.com , it had beta-gluten, fatty acids, and other things that benthic fry will need. Here is what I did. https://vimeo.com/179910026 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 So cool and so sad at the same time. Good luck trying to raise a brood Sirena - I would think that would be really rewarding to see some grow up. Which reminds me... I wonder how Jon's clown fish fry are doing. Here's to raising more fish babies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
