If you don't get any replies soon Matt, I'd pm Becky. She keeps sea-horses

 

[shallowreef]

I here they taste great!

I have dwarf seahorses. They need to eat baby brine shrimp - do you have brine eggs? If so, get them hatching.
Do not put them in with the clowns. Put them in a gallon jug, put them in quart jars, but don't put them with the clowns.
I'm sending a PM with my phone number. I can get you set up with whatever you need tonight.

I can take like 5 off your hand how much do you want for them you can even ask Vicky I have a set up for them and everything now.

Talk to Vicky.

She is queen with them.

Best,
Ilham

ohh wouu how could someone mix ricordias with Sea horses :lol:.

I hope you get it sort it out dood, it'd be sad to loose that many sea horses .
I thought they eat rotifiers too, but not sure in that one may be Vicky could shime in on that.

 

[matts125]

well Vicky is coming over tonight to help me out, I will keep you all posted to what happens...

Matt
ps. thanks Vicky

 

[MarineTeng]

obviously the omnipotent one (God) is telling you to make a seahorse nano take him up on his offer or else... that's bordering on blasphemous and what not but sounds like a great project as long as you get your rics too

Update..

Well I get to keep the seahorses for free, I got a 5 galllon hex tank ready to go, Vicky is on her way over to get me set up. Tomorrow My ricordias (20-30 of them) will be on there way....

Kinda of a 2 for 1 I guess....

wwouuu in that case.... what a deal you got .
i'm sure your kids and the wife are gonna enjoy the ponys i mean the seahorses .

 

[MarineTeng]

where did you get the rics, i'm always looking for some good looking rics

 

[Sonyawp]

Well, if you don't want to keep them, let me know. I am about to order some in the next day or two for a tank.

 

[matts125]

well the seahorses are acclimating right now, Vicky came over and went through the run down with me, since they are wild caught I did a fresh water medicated dip for 5 mins to kill any hydroids or bacterias, every single one is still alive so I am happy with them, about 5 of them are pregnant aswell. Wish me luck guys, I will post pics tomorrow of the new additions.

Marineteng the rics are off ebay, if you are interested in some then I should have a few left I could spare to part with I will let you know when they come in, we can trade for something or you can just buy them, it just all depends on what I get.

By this time next week you should have 50 to 100 dwarves (unless those boys are tricking us by inflating their pouches). Best of luck.

Here are some pictures of the sea horses. as you can imagine they are hard to photograph as they are all of about 5/8'' to 3/4''.
