In the event that Ann asks, this may save time, are you able to take and post a photo?

Yep, I figured you weren't THAT tired!

Here are the H. erectus. Kade and Jezebel. Kade, the male is the lighter one. They were sharing dinner and was rudely interrupted when I snapped this photo. I took it with my phone so it isn't as crisp.

Here's the new little one. I haven't had time to take any better ones. This is one that I was using when trying to get an ID. I think it is still too young to --- it, any input?

I didn't think 1.020 would be considered hyposalinity either, that's why I tried to refer to it as a lowered salinity. I know that the oceans range in salinity with it being higher the closer you get to the equator. I did my first fresh-water bath yesterday.... boy was I nervous. I think it...

Thanks for taking the time to answer Ann. I figured that you or Dan would have a rational. When I was weighing the pros and cons I didn't think about the wound. I was thinking also that the antibiotic would work better in something with a lower specific gravity too. I've seen the Noga book...

I didn't want to hijack any thread, so I thought I'd start a new one. I'm a 'why' asker. I like to know the ins and outs and the whys and why-nots. I ask questions and tend to wonder things over. So I was wondering about salinity and medications.... Neomycin is a medication that is tough...

Good sign that your horse is eating. Meowzer don't wait, if you can afford it have the meds sent to you the fastest way possible (if you aren't able to get anything locally to start treatment). You need to treat this aggressively and without delay.

[debating if I really am sorry before I apologize] Okay, I meant what I said. It was harsh.... but I'm not sorry. It's a living creature not an unfeeling rock. As adults we should have learned to take responsibility for our actions long ago. BTW, I'm not saying that I haven't made mistakes...

I mean, come on! If you walk into a store and want to purchase something, shouldn't it be your responsibility to know what you are buying? Ask all the questions you want but it is YOUR money, YOUR time, and YOUR decision. If you didn't do the research and made an impulse buy you have no one to...

I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't have much experience with seahorses but have been reading everything I can get my hands on. Do you have an airline in your tank? If she's struggling to breathe then I would make sure that it isn't because of low O2. What are your water parameters? You might...

Teresa I apologize for using you as an example, I in no way meant to offend, just the opposite. I meant to compliment and was deferring to someone that had more experience than I. Tom, my water quality is excellent. My fry tank is extremely clean. I siphon and clean it daily as well. I test...

I don't know about natural seawater. I've thought about investing in a microscope so many time so I can check things out... I'm probably going to get flamed for this but my erectus had 5 fry last Saturday. The tank that I had cycled for them has a hang-on-back refugium with live sand, rock...

Oh! I like it!

I put one mysis in my hang-on-back refugium on my fry tank. As a nurse, I try not to use anti-bacterial cleaning and hygiene products in my home we use just the regular ones (of course first aid products not included). We need bacteria inside and outside our bodies to maintain health, why not...
