This is the coolest thing. We bought a few dwarf sea horses from Underwater Monsters here in Killeen, TX. I've heard they breed like rabbits, but never thought we'd have a batch in less than a month.

We had seen one of them that got real fat (the males carry the babies, but I am sure most of you pros know this... I just found out when we bought them a few weeks back). We came home on Sunday, and viola, there they were... soo cool !!! I thought they would be smaller, but actually they're like minitaturized adult ones. They've been eating live baby brine shrimp well and we hope some if not all of them make it to adulthood in about 6-8 weeks. Thinking about keeping some and perhaps trading some for other things, corals, fish, whatever.

We will post pictures soon

According to what Ricky found online, they can hunt live baby brine shrimp. I saw them eating today, they are 3 days old and appear very active around the tank. It's really cool. You guys are welcome to come and see them if you'd like. Ryan knows where we live. If you want to call, our number is 616-2769.

Glad to hear the dwarfs are doing well. Are you rearing them in the pico? Any problems with the filter sucking them in.
