some new fish...

red fin fairy wrasse..his color rocks!

mccosker wrasse

b&w clown

ocelarius clown

the breeders fed PE too..well i don't really wanna feed any live food since i heard that they might not always go back to frozen.

If they'll eat the PE I would ditch the hikari. The read the protein content ont he packages, you'll see why.

 

Are you using garlic for an appetite stimulant? IME it doesn't really work. Seahorses have no olfactory senses. O.K. they do have something resembling one, but it is theorized to be inactive or to be used to recognize a mate. They can't smell food. IMO I think this leads to the hard time training to frozen for WC seahroses, they don't smell it but there senses are activated by the movement, which is why you blow the food around the tank with a turkey baster.

 

Some people believe that garlic acts as an immune system booster, but if this is your intent I woudl switch to feeding artemia beta glucan.

yeah i know the PE has a high protein content but I kind of like to mix it up for them. yeah i'm just doing it for the immune system booster and it has vitamin C. but im also getting some selcon to add some omega 3's and other vitamins to there food

What brand of food are you feeding?

I feed hikari and PE mysis with some garlic

well i wouldn't keep it in a QT tank for too long or at all since it will starve in a relatively short time.

anyone have a tunze 9002,9005 or any other small skimmer with a footprint of 9x10" or less

If the food does fall out of the dish, they will still eat it. They are not that picky. Infact if they eat to fast and some of there poo looks like a shrimp, they will eat that too.

 

If you split up there feedings until small multiple feedings a day, they will grow faster and ultimately be healthier.

 

Those horses are still very small.

I just like feeding with the baster cuz i can watch them eat which is fun and i know for sure how much there eating. I usually split up the cube of mysis into 2 feedings daily

i don't wanna crack my tank or anything but could somebody that's experienced in drilling glass drill mine for a return and overflow?

haha well it won't be until i do my engine swap which should be around 6 months

emails sent

finally here are some pics of whats left

summit sells everything

or you can try JEGS or a local junk yard. or wait for mine

no ryan ya gotta go chevy! don't listen to scott

:D

great pics!!! I really want a yellow or orange one now! how big are they? pretty mandarin too:) I had a mandarin and it got a weird hole by its mouth and didnt make it. I have a target mandarin thats doing great though. Do your seahorses eat out of a dish? mine do.

thanks they are around 3" or so. yeah thanks i'm trying to raise pods to help the mandrians survival. no i target feed mine with my turkey baster. that way i know that each one is getting food and there isn't any that spills or falls out like in a dish.

nice horses cee..i also have chaeto but mine seem to love the orange fake plant i put in there. but they also occasionally hang around the red grape.

another close up of one horse

and there tankmate:

not sure if its too late but here's mine

an edelbrock 600cfm carb and edelbrock air gap intake

well i have the carb and intake but it will be awhile! like 6 months..

how soon would you need it?

here are 2 of them!

 

nice horses..got a FTS?

they are the black Hippocampus erectus. They are so much fun! Mine are also pigging out on the mysis. I looked up seahorse corral' date=' pretty cool site. Have you ever owned any seahorses before? I put a couple harlequin shrimp in with mine cause the tank was a little boring.[/quote']

 

mine are also H.erectus. yeah they are alot of fun yeah i have.i had a pair 5 years ago. i have a mandrian in with mine

I have 3 black tank raised and they are doing great! where did you get yours?

mine are doing good too! i wish i could get more but so far it's just gonna be the 2. I got mine from Seahorse Corral. what species are yours?

Lookin good. except are you ever going to clean that glass!????
