Breeding Seahorses

[tweety69711]

I have 4 Mustang Seahorses 2 small and 2 large that were "supposedly" bred when purchased. Does anyone know how to tell if one is pregnant? or when the mating season is.. and any suggestions on preparing a aquapod tank for babies so I do not have to relocate the seahorses.

Same with pipefish.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for breeding either of these and info will help.

Thanks

There is a seahorse forum here at RC and an excellent site at seahorse.org

In short, it's hard to miss a pregnant male seahorse, you will know. In aquaria with artificially controlled heat & light YOU set the "breeding season" Fry are typically raised in bb nursery tanks with propper current to keep them off the surface, fishbowls are commonly used as make shift kreisel tanks.

All of this you will find in great detail at seahorse.org
