Feeding time, at the Ok Corral! One of our favorite time, to watch the herd. We watch the ponies for hours! A real joy in keeping and spoiled rotten!

Here video of ponies eating! They like to feed 24/7. We turn off filtration for 6 to 8 hours, for them to gorge daily, with freshly hatched brine shrimp or after 24 hours, we gut load the brine shrimp. The offspring love it too!

One of the tank mates for the dwarf seahorse, is this Hawaiian volcano shrimp! They're are 2 pairs, in the setup, and they have been with us for over 10+ years. Also the Opaola's, or miniature Hawaiian shrimp, are very good tank mates too.

In search of food prey baby brine shrimp! This is a dwarf pipefish, we refer to as a short nose pipefish. Really interesting. These and the dwarf seahorse breed regularly in our 10 gallon tank. Their offspring eat the same live food as the adult parents!

I must say, in over 40 years in the hobby I've never seen those shrimp. Very cool.

Here another tank mate too, that was where we could catch a photo this morning... This is a local miniature shrimp, that is found in red, green and yellow/green. It is barely a 1/4+ inch. They are not offered on the market as far as we know. They savage and also like live brine shrimp too. They sit like in the picture, or in a "check mark" position. A really kool little guy and great for adding more life, to a miniature species aquarium. We pick them up, when doing water changes or getting new or fresh breeding stock for our hobby.
