Baby Reidi Seahorses

CCall · 05/03/2008, 10:46 AM

This morning was fun.

First we saw two baby seahorses swimming in the tank.

They were put into the nursery.

Next we thought to look at the filter sponge. Presto we found the other hundred or so babies, so the extraction began.

Pictures will follow later today.

Congrats!!! I wish he would have had them a day sooner!! How many did he have?

CCall · 05/06/2008, 09:24 AM

He had around 100. I have about 15 left. I started feeding them newly hatched BBS this morning.

Did most of them die, or did you sell them?

I lost most of them except for the ones that I have left. Everyone but 5 were stuck in the filter sponge.
Reidi fry are also the most difficult fry to raise. This is my first brood. If they live they won't be ready to sell til around 6 months depending on size.
