Mickey, those seahorses are absolutely gorgeous! Sorry about the loss of Tabasco.

I didn't realize you'd lost Tobassco. I'm sorry. He was a stunning seahorse for sure.

 

[dcall]

What breed of seahorse is the mother? She is beautiful.

 

[LisaD]

I'll answer for Mickey; she is a very nice specimen of Hippocampus erectus, the lined seahorse, native to Florida and north on the Atlantic coast. Her markings and cirri are distinct and unusual. Tabasco also was an erectus.

......Thanks for answering for me Lisa ,I have been having teetheses pulled.The ones' I had pulled yesterday wiped me out.Layed in bed all day Thank you also Kevin and dcall.Tobasco developed pouch problems that I couldn't get under control He was the first horse I had raised from a fry.He came to me @ 2weeks old from Terri (insideart) over at seahorse.org.I do miss him,but look at all his babies!

Wow, that's really cool. I love your choice of hitching posts for the fry. It obviously did wonders for their colors!
