Dear Carolina:
Sure thing – can do! It’s good that you brought this to my attention because it’s very important for all of the trainees to have a complete set of all 10 lessons for future reference by the time they have completed the training program. You can always ask to have any of the lessons resent to you for any reason at any time, and I will make sure that you get a good copy of Lesson 10 after the holidays.
The final lesson is actually a two-part installment, which includes a detailed fact sheet or species summary on Hippocampus erectus (Mustangs and Sunbursts) in Lesson 10a plus a detailed discussion of the proper acclimation procedures for Ocean Rider seahorses as well as a comprehensive caresheet and acclimation instructions for the red feeder shrimp (Halocaridina rubra), or Hawaiian volcano shrimp, as they are also known, in Lesson 10b. Both parts of lesson 10 include photo galleries devoted to Mustangs and Sunbursts respectively, including dozens of examples of each type, to give you a better idea of the color patterns typically associated with Mustangs and Sunbursts.
Best wishes with all your fishes, Carolina! I am at your disposal whenever you have any additional questions or concerns about your seahorses, and you can always reach me off list ([email protected]) or through the discussion forum.
Happy Trails & Happy Holidays!
