My friend just recently purchased a pair of H. Reidi seahorses. Her male is pregnant. Do you have any tips on raising them?
Dear Haynes:
You bet! Just refer your friend to the following discussions regarding the best methods for raising H. reidi fry and that should help get him started off on the right foot:

http://www.seahorse.com/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,/func,view/catid,2/id,1054/#1054Give your buddy our congratulations on his pregnant male and advise them that the gestation period is about 14 days, and once they begin breeding, his reidi pair will keep churning out brood after brood with clocklike regularity from now on.
Happy Trails!
Pete GiwojnaWe live along the atlantic coast. The water here is teeming with micro-life. Would it be possible to use the local water as a source of the micro food for the fry? The water here is about 80 degrees. Could we just rasie the fry in our local water? Would a ten gallon tank and an airstone work if I made frequent water changes. How many fry are we talking about in one brood. How long would it take untill the young were able to eat a commercially available food? I am thinking about buying the pair from her, because she does not think she will be able to raise the fry. Could I keep them with my sunbursts? I really had my heart set on another pair of erectus, but mine aren’t breeding, and I would like to giive that a try. Would it be possible to keep 3 pair of seahorses in my 45 if I stepped up my filtration? Thanks for all of your help.
