I'm looking for live foods for sea horse
particularly halocaridina rubra. anyone breeding these or know where i can get some? thanks!
 
Halocaridina rubra are hawaiian volcanoe shrimp 'Opae Ula'. There's a small local supplier here in Michigan that gets them occasionally. Somewhat expensive compared to live mysis shrimp. There is some controversey using them as feeders since the hawaiian volcanoe shrimp breed slowly (once or twice a year?) and their habitat is slowly disapearring. They breed in volcanic anchialine pools (still water pools in larva rock craters near costal areas) and can live up to 20 years. They make great nano-tank additions and do well in sumps.
