Some tips on feeding:

I used to go to Pelham bay and catch thousands of glass shrimp by passing a fine net over rocks covered in algae. I kept my tank pretty well planted and I would keep it well stocked with glass shrimp. The seahorses loved it- they eat to their hearts content. If you keep a small 5gallon tank with glass shrimp going, just be sure you feed the glass shrimp something very nutritious like Spirulina soaked in selcon.

I am sure you can also buy live cold water pods these days pretty easily. I have even seen live mysis available. When I bred seahorses my goal was to keep a live food culture running- it was just easier in the long run (I never had to worry about going away on vacation).

I saw it in person its awesome !

Thanks, Jake!

Asianer, and Hawaii51, yes, they are still available. I guess I've sold roughly half of them. These are from the same batch I originally advertised, and they are now 8 months old, a lot bigger, and sexually mature. I haven't raised any subsequent broods because I've been focused on building a "fish room" dedicated to breeding Seahorses and other marine fish (and it's seemingly taking forever).

If you've read through the thread I need to tell you that: 1) My cell phone number is working! (texting ok), and, 2) My web cam has gone south! LOL But I'll follow this post with a couple of pics I took today. They are now in a 210gal tank.

Oh... one final thing... I really have to up the price to $80 per pair. Still a good deal.

MOST of these were 8 months old on 12/18.

I pick up a couple of ponies recently, what a wonderful experience to learn
and see how George raise and care for his seaforses.Definitely will get a
few more from him in the future.
