seahorse update

[bunsenburner]

I've 11 that are 5 weeks and 1 day old. My good buddy kept them alive while away for a week. A nice surpise when returning from vacation (unlike Monday morning). They are over an inch with the tail fully extended and looking much fatter and hitching (on eachother since I have not yet provided anything else).

Good for you! Mine gave birth while I was on vacation. My son, who was babysitting, called to ask what he should do with them. I said there was nothing to do, let nature take its course! He didn't like that answer, so he may yet shame me into trying to raise them. But I did a batch of freshwater angelfish a few years ago, and THAT was a lot of work, so I'm not eager to try to repeat it with seahorses, which are even harder to do.
