Awesome. These guys just keep on giving, too. Within hours of birthing, the male is ready for more eggs. Is this your second brood with these parents, or overall? How many are left from the first brood (first brood 2 weeks old?)? I'm trying to learn from my mistakes with these guys right now, too.
I missed the birthing this morning (only four left in the adult's tank when I checked on them-nearly an hour before they have birthed the last two times...). They are in the new kreisel, so I'm hoping for better luck than my last two attempts. Each iteration (two total before this mornings) has given me better results, but still none have made it past 12 days. I was looking forward to a kreisel full of babies, but oh well. Valentine's babies will be cool.
Are you feeding BBS? If so, what are you gut loading them with?
We're down to one (of 5) from the last brood. Still not happy about missing the birthing (wanted to see my new kreisel in action with 100+ babies. The one is looking good right now, and seems bigger than others I've tried to raise to date. Next brood expected next Saturday/Sunday.
that is awesome is it anything like breeding clownfish pretty intense stuff? But i must say that is freaking awesome your my idol i thought fish breeding was cool but this blows it out of the water. Im digging the zip ties do they actually cling to them? do you have any pictures of the eggs or do they lay eggs?
Isn't very hard to breed sea horses, it was hard to keep them alive until reccent right? I have always wanted to try a pipe fish but I hear there just as hard.
