btw nice sea horse is it a hippocampus kudo?

Those are h.erectus. Lots of work to keep, but very rewarding. I'm not sure if you looked at all of my galleries, but this one is just of the sea horse tank.

Wow super nice..I like yumas as well, hoping to start collecting them soon.

Very cool. Where did you get it?

 

[amutti]

I got it at a LFS. It came in with a bunch of thugs labeled "Red Riccordia.". This one was clearly different and the owner seemed a tad annoyed that it wasn't red . So I bought it! Clearly not red or a ric, I negotiated a fair price.

Cool yuma; nice score. Show us another pic after it really opens up.

I noticed photos of baby seahorses, as well. Did you breed your seahorses? If so, do you have any particular advice?

I've bred clownfish & raised the fry, and always wondered how difficult it would be to breed seahorses...

Nice find, loved the gallery =)

I did try raising the baby sea horses a few times, but never succeeded past 1.5 months. If you are already raising brineshrimp and rotifers regularly now, they would be easy enough to raise I think. I just wasn't able to keep up with the brine shrimp/water changes. Maybe I'll try again when I have more time (3 young kids to raise right now).

I bought exact same one from the LFS. The guy though it was a mushroom. Would you mind if I ask you how much you paid for it?

I paid $50 for all my pink yumas!
