Hello Peter,

Couldn't be it hydroid, Crabe, Shrimp! Only gorgonids, tube worm, Snails /algaen eater/, Sandollar and algaes.
The baby fishes I take an other little tank when they born.I put the little tank into the Seahorse fish tank. That tank is 30x40x50 centimeters /50cm tall/ it have two side is not glass, those are mosquito net. The flows trough them. They are lives maximum 7-10 days.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter1,
You really need to set up a seperate nursery tank for the fry.

They will not do well in the main tank in the setup you described.

The nursery needs to be kept very clean and water flow adjusted for fry. The little fry are fragile and tire very easily plus they should not be exposed to anything harmful that may be in the main tank that is not harmful to adults but deadly to fry, such as hydroids,etc.

Raising seahorse fry is not easy but it can be done with the proper setup and care.

Hi, JennyL!

Thank you! I don't have much place but I set up the seperate nursery tank.
What you think, what kind of let it be the size of the tank? How large flow let it be the and what kind of filtration let me use in the tank? Lighting? Food?

Thanks,
Peter
