Dwarf seahorses (and lots of them!)!
I've had the dwarf seahorses for two weeks now and they are doing well. They had twenty-two babies RIGHT after they were put into their new home and now, there are twenty-nine total (seven adults, twenty-two babies) and more on the way. Soon, I'm going to have to upgrade the tank to a larger one. The seahorses now have their own unique colors (one is green, one is pinkish, and a few are different shades of gray, white, and black). They are eating well and I've even gotten them to eat some frozen food (adult brine shrimp and some smaller mysis shrimp). I think that soon, I may separate the babies from the adults because I think that the adults would eat frozen if I didn't have to feed live to the babies. Pictures are coming soon!

They're so cute! :) I'd love to have one or two of my own. ;) Although, I'm not altogether sure I'd want to deal with brine shrimp (frozen or otherwise)... ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know sea horses came in different colors. ~Alasandra
ReplyDeleteYep! Seahorses change color depending on their environment. That's the reason I have a green one (he's trying to match into the plants). Unfortunately, I don't have any of the 22 babies anymore (several issues including stress, and too much competition for food with the adults killed them) but I'm expecting more babies soon!
