Good job so far. Are these kudas or erectus? Hopefully they're not Reidis because those seem harder to rear than the other species, since the babies are pelagic & don't hang onto things. Whatever species they are, looks like you did a good job researching & setting up a proper system.

Sweet! Looks awesome, I've been crusin Reef Central for months and came accross this site a few weeks ago and have been a looky-lou for until now, I signed up just to ask this question...
Do you have any idea why the adults "did it"?

Day 4 - - 03 Nov 06
Still no casaulties.
They are getting bigger. You can see them eating the rotifers now. I am still doing about a 30 percent water change x 2 a day from the main SH tank. And still adding a fair amount of prime. Lots of rotifers in there. Phillybean...the adults "did" it because it is in their nature to reproduce. I am going to start growing live brine shrimp this weekend to get used to doing it and so that I can have some live adults in a couple of weeks. Neal

Hah, I didn't mean it like that, I'm still new to reef keeping but my question was what caused it? I didn't think that Sea Horses bred in tanks commonly, what do you think caused yours too? How old are they? Was it just the 2 in the tank? Were there any special conditions that may have helped them to breed? On a lighter note...they musta look funny "doing it"

I believe they are about a year old. I personally have only had them for about a month. Maybe tranvictor knows how old they are.
actually SH bred quite regularly in captivity. It is just difficult generally to have any luck with raising the babies.

Way to go, Neal
 Very cute babies Looking back on when we were trying to raise fry, I remember having a fiar amount of water movement in the fry bowl to keep the water oxygenated. I read that you were doing 2 bubbles per second. I'd increase it to at least 5 bubbles per second. That way there's gonna be enough O2 for the growing fry. I know they are still very, very tiny and may not be able to hitch onto anything yet, but please do anchor some macroalgae for them to hitch to if they can/want. So far so good!!!! Love the pics
