Dear Kelly:
Yes, you are doing splendidly for your first attempt at rearing seahorses! The Hippocampus reidi fry are notoriously difficult to raise due to their extended pelagic phase, and you seem to be sailing along through their high-risk period quite well indeed. There’s always a steep learning curve and it’s not uncommon — perhaps even the rule — for home breeders to lose the entire brood during their first few attempts at rearing, so keep up the good work!
Best of luck keeping up with the endless appetites of all year newborns and juveniles, Kelly!
Happy Trails!
