i got the mangroves smaller and planted them b/c they need to have their roots down and they have been growing just like they would in the wild. i do not have a power head in the tank b/c there is plenty of flow from the feed line keeping the tank filled, i do make sure they eat, i have watched them eat and its very enjoyable to watch

I'm pretty sure they are H. comes too. Did you get them at Tong's? They sell comes seahorses and they are pen/net raised~ basically wild. H. comes fry are very difficult to raise and there are very few people in the U.S. that have been able to successfully.

Just a minor point, but the net pen H. comes, while difficult, are not basically wild. Getting wild comes to eat frozen food is a nearly impossible task; getting ones that don't have some form of GBD from the start is also nearly impossible. Net Pet raised comes are still very difficult because they are prone to disease, but they are something an experienced hobbyist might be able to tackle; as compared to wild caught.
