Dwarf Seahorses

[billb]

I called Blue World and Shannon gave me ken's e-mail address. I sent a couple of e-mails off and haven't heard back. Sent some pms to zena. Good to hear they are probably just busy.

I am going with a partitioned tank for when I eventually get them. I am just going to get it modded and have it cycled and waiting. Hopefully by spring when the weather warms a bit I can get some shipped.

I've found a supplier who will ship from the States. It will cost a bit of money for the paperwork and the shipping. The other side of the coin is the Dwarf Seahorses are really, really cheap $8 per horse for orders under 100 and $7 per horse over 100. When the time comes it might be very doable if I can get couple other people who are interested.

In the meantime I will still hope to find a Canadian supplier.

Pisces and Red Coral in Calgary both have seahorses... saw them as of a few days ago. Pretty sure I have seen them at other stores in Calgary as well. Why not phone around?

I've phoned everywhere. No one has dwarf seahorses. They are just too hard to get in Canada. I am on waiting lists at a few places. H. Erectus and H.Kuda can easily be had at the local stores.

The dwarfs sold at that price are wild caught, and I'm personally not interested in them.
I want only true captive bred.
When Zenafish gets her brood up to size again she will have more for sale.
