I don't know how I missed this post until now . thanks Adam and Brad for all the kind words ............. yes , I was breeding horses like crazy ( pipefish as well ) . as stated I have taken a break for awhile because of health issues my husband has been dealing with ( Adam , he has good and bad days still , thanks for asking ). I may start again this winter if time permits , but I raise them to about 5 months before they are available . you probably do not want to wait that long . Sharkys Reef usually has them locally or Dan from SeaHorseSource has some gorgeous healthy horses if you are willing to mail order .whatever you do , do yourself a favor and make sure that they are captive bred . sorry I could not be of more help at this time .
