ya i am hooked. all three are fat and happy. they are now about 4-5" i would say. just oreded some caulpera prolifera for them to. don't mind the spelling just winged it.
ya i have been floating around on that board to.
i think once i get an apt i may order a pair of these. they are cool looking:
You know you have the bug bad when you have hundreds of babies in various tanks and phyto and rpot cultures going and someone makes a comment that it looks like a scientific experiment gone wrong LOL
I've heard really good things about Seahorse Source too.
the one thing I've heard about those appendages is that they can lose them for no apparent reason. I think todd Gardner is the best one to ask, but I think it was him that was telling me they got a bunch with the appendages and they lose them. Might be different if they are captive bred that way though.
Over the next month I'm setting up a tank for H. ingens (big guys), but for me when I get the $$$ I'd love to try H barbouri and the H. capensis, but both are tough to find (the H. capensis are endangered South African). Both of them have fry that are large enough to eat BBS so you don't have to do the whole phyto/roto culture.
that is cool too. i am thinking once i get into an apt i will set up my 40 breeder and make it a sea horse only tank. tey are cool little guys. not as hard as everyone thinks. just need to feed them 2-3 times a day.
post up some pics of your setup once you get it going. i would love to see how you planned it out.
yes they are very addicting and everyone loves them. my buddy in CO wants one for his 50 gallon reef/ goby tank.
