Default Brine shrimp..............

More on brine shrimp .It is economical to use the 1lb cans ( available on line ),I used to use Angels Plus who were good to deal with. Store the can in the fridge when not in use and they will last for a long time .If you have a couple of bottles going that will ensure a continuous supply of new born shrimp..................good luck

Depending on where you got them, they are more than likely h. Kudas not reidi. Post some close up pics and I can confirm for you. I know all the LFS in Calgary that have sold seahorses in the last year the plain black ones where all Kudas.

As for brine shrimp, if they are kudas or reidi, the babys wont accept them for a couple of weeks as they are too large. The rotifer cultures and smaller copepods are what you need to ween them for the first bit.

Here is the setup that I am currently have.
the babies are way too small to take pictures for my camera.
I will be starting a new thread for the raising of the seahorses.
I will try to add a comment a day as to how they are doing
so far, I haven't lost one.
But I have no expectations at all
Neal

Awesome stuff Neal! I do wish you luck. You have a lot of work ahead of you. A friend of mine at AI told me the longest he had his baby reidi's live for was 14 days. I wish you a world of luck. Is this your first batch of Sea babies?

Awesome thread.

Definately should turn it into a mini journal! I also agree with the previous comments, pictures are a must!

Can someone explain what the gold fish bowl inside the tank is for? Do the babies go in it?
