Yeah, they look great - very active! First time I've seen Erectus Seahorses in person, and first time I've seen them for sale in Western Canada. They are supposed to be the easiest species to keep. How could I not? :D

Please consider feeding them rinsed thawed frozen mysis at least three times a day to get them fattened up. They appear from the pics to have very flat sides when in fact they should be slightly rounded.

Yes Ray they will be getting lots of food. I'm glad they finally arrived thay was a long wait!

Your mail box is full and I couldn't reply.
When I imported the first shipment some years ago, they were all fat and happy AND much larger.
With her success then, she has had demands from across Canada and to be able to fill orders ends up shipping at earlier age and in worse condition.
Same thing happened with Aquamarine International with their reidi. Good for years until sales demands meant they couldn't fill orders without pushing the stock through much too fast.
Now, a lot of places refuse to sell A.I.'s reidi and eventually it may end up the same way for Beth's erectus.
I don't know for sure that what you have there are Beth's though as there is another supply coming into Canada that is in about the same shape as Beth's present stock, but so far I've been unable to trace the origin.
If anyone finds out, please let me know.

Myka 02-27-2014 05:35 PM

Yeah Paddy. Got a little herd now. They are eating like gluttons, so they will be fat in no time. :)
