    I saw that when Ace had his mollies. So cute. From what I understand for the seahorses they mostly use shrimpish things. Not sure how easy it would be to enrich baby mollies.

    Good News:
    one of the local LFS may be able to get these. We're checking on availability and pricing right now. Stay tuned

    (that way we can all try them in smaller quantities so we don't get stuck with 100 shrimp nobody wants to eat!)

    Great, we always prefer to support our LFS. Let me know if you hear back on how many can we keep in a 10g so we have some idea how many to get. We already know that our fish will eat them.

    I don't want to upset any sponsors, but why don't you culture you own baby brine shrimp? It is such an easy process and you cal also find the eggs at our local stores.

    Ross, we need the bigger shrimp, not the brine. These would be more like "shore shrimp" or like the "ghost shrimp."

    yep. I am already culturing baby brine. It's easy peasy. I use it for the gorgonians. The baby brine hatch within 24 hours. I am using the decapsulated eggs so it's really a no mess super easy thing. In fact I just use an air stone in a Pilsner glass for it!

    Reidi seahorses don't care for baby brine though. In fact I just learned they don't even care much for adult brine shrimp but are supposed to really like the bigger shrimp like these saltwater ghost shrimp.
