Stunning Neon Red!!
Tropical!! Healthy!! Certified Farm Raised here at our Hawaii farm !!!! The Brazilero (Hippocampus redii) is native to the warm waters of Tropical Brazil. They are a delicate,slender, narrow bodied, sea horse that can reach lengths of 7 to 8 inches long when full grown. They do pair bond and are very sensitive to tank mates and changes to their environment. We do not recommend this seahorse for beginners as they are one of the most delicate of the greater seahorses.
Ocean Rider, as well as many public aquariums, collectors, divers, and researchers around the world believe that the Brazilian sea horse wild population is highly threatened and may be on the brink of extinction. Even though the seahorse is now an endangered species many wholesalers may try to bring in wildcaughts and pass them off as captive bred.
After many years of hard work and research ,Ocean Rider began offering limited numbers of Certified Ocean Rider Farm Raised Hippocampus redii in 2000. Like all ocean rider products quality and color is of paramount importance. Not only to the OR Brazileros have vibrant colors but they are trained to eat frozen mysis enhanced with vibrance. We suggest that you put your Brazileros right in with your Sunbursts and Mustangs so they can all interact together.
We suggest that you feed live red shrimp once every week to your seahorses. Want to learn more about feeding your seahorses? : Read More
