Sea Dragons

[TamiW]

Do you recall what the temperature of the water was when you see the pregnant males? I know at least one public aquarium is experimenting with warmer temperatures than what we normally consider okay for sea dragons, in order to encourage leafy sea dragons to breed.

I have seen them for sale before, but it seems all of the websites with them don't have them anymore.

I did find this little article on them though: http://www.fishchannel.com/saltwater-aquariums/species-info/seahorse/leafy-dragons.aspx

60 F. For me, that was very cold as I am a warm water wimp. (WWW)

I don't know how you did it. I got in the water with SeaWorld's Beluga Whales last year and it was 55 F. But, it was only my legs in the water. I don't know if I could do my entire body.

Actually, if I had the chance to see Leafy Seadragons, I think I'd do it :fun4:

I can only imagine how cool that was to see a live, pregnant leafy sea dragon. I'd love to do that one day.
