Baby seahorses ARRIVED!

[Bill S]

Well, it's looking about time for birthing again. I've got a male that's getting big again. I don't have the time or resources, so if anyone is interested in trying, just drop me a note with your cell phone number to bstreep@satx.rr.com. When/if they come AND I'm around, I'll call and you can come get them. I'm going to be gone this weekend, so if they come then, I won't be around to call you.

You mean that you are not going to pace back and forth in front of the tank :roll

[Bill S]

Nah. But, if history repeats itself, we'll have babies in the AM...

[jc]

What type of seahorses are they?

[auSS/Tin]

They probably would make great Angel fish food. Not the answer you were looking for I bet. Good luck with them.

[Bill S]

Hippocampus kuda, I believe. Black.

Bill, the last batch became "food". Not a big deal, 'cause there's no way I can raise the.

[Isis]

I know there are a few people who can take them here in houston. They are easy to ship from what I hear. Contact KrAs on MARSH if you want.

What is required to raise them... I have a beautiful 40gal full of pods and no other fish. What do the fry (are baby seahorses fry?) eat?

[Jeff]

you need green water and rotifers for about a week, then you can start feeding baby brine shrimp. ask OU81PEZ to see if he wants them or if he will give a kreel set up for raising them.

[Bill S]

OK, I've gotten LOTS of volunteers to take these - including Rich from Houston wanting me to ship them. If they come in the next 16 hours, I'll start calling people. If not, it won't be until Sunday when I get back from the lease.

I have a spare set up to raise the little guys that was given to me I could let go of. I'm still building a suitable station to raise them as well as the food to feed them. The "set up" is a 10gal tank, heater, hob power filter, modified fish bowls, air pump and airlines.

[Bill S]

Still no babies yet...

[Willow]

if anyone has sea horses next year... (from maybe february on..) I would definately be interested in buying some!.. Right now my tank just isn't ready for them... and as much as I would love some of the babies.. it just isn't fair to them if I don't have food ready...

yeah.. I'm so jealous of you that have them!

[Bill S]

Seahorses arrived this morning! About 40-50 or so appear to be alive and swimming. Right now my list says:

Jeremy
Patrick
Richard

Did I miss anyone? Please let me know: 663-8079.

[ou812pezz]

I'll see you this evening.

[Isis]

Congrats on the babies!!!
