Sweet photo. Fry are so cute.

What species are they?

 

[drewber]

they are commonly known as brazilian seahorses techinically they are H. Reidi. The males pouch is still huge, I wouldnt be surprised if I wake up to more seahorse fry in the morning.

Many times seahorses can take as long as 3 days to deliver all the fry so if his pouch is still looking full you can deffinately expect to see more fry.

H reidi are quite a challenge. Good luck with them.

well so far so good. I only lost 1 last night..

Good Luck!

Reidi are quite the challenge, but well worth it once you get it down!

We usually had major die-off occur around 3-4 weeks, then again around 3-4 months, but pretty smooth sailing in between! And after as well.

i am not sure, the girl friend didnt count them.. Shes really not into breeding them, but knew she needed to do something when she saw them in the tank. it was actully quite funny.

She calls me at work ands shes like "OMG theres a ton of babies what do I do?

I told her to unplug the tank, and filters etc, scoop them up and put them in my rotifer culture.
