@ts65614 from the birth tank? The tank they are born in has a regular pump and water flow that the adults need, the babies are very weak swimmers and would not survive for very long. The tank they are put in is highly controlled for water flow and uses an overflow system rather than a direct pump.

Rsatov, you are now considered my best "go to expert" on Seahorses. I have raised several broods also and my family room looks like your room....extension cords and tanks all over the place to house the various ages of seahorses and brine shrimp of various sizes. My question is, what type of filtration do you have on the newborn tanks? Also what was the name of that food you feed the newborns? Thanks

@csac70 The fry tanks I used were simple overflow tanks with a sump full of live rock. Fry are not very tolerant of nitrate so having separate fry tanks allows large water changes between broods. Fry were fed new;y hatched brine shrimp. Brine shrimp cysts must be decapsulated and harvested within a couple of hours of hatching. Once harvested they can be kept alive in the fridge for 4 or 5 days.

that's actually the male. the female gives the eggs to the male and then dies.

@wonderwoman978 You are partially correct. the female deposits her eggs into the males pouch where they stay until he spews them out. The female does not die. Thats spiders i think :-)
