It's no problem guys. I'm glad to see that my pictures and video really intrigued someone. The dwarfs do indeed only eat live baby brine shrimp, and the occasional pod. It takes a lot of research, knowledge, dedication, and patience to maintain them. Though it is most certainly not impossible.

I came home at the perfect time today to see this going on in the tank! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd3FUc0R_Ps The count is up to 48 seahorses and two pipefish. It looks like I upgraded at the perfect time. Just from the past week (between two males) there are 27 babies in the tank along...

Here are some shots of the pair of dwarf pipefish and two more pairs of seahorses! The male horses are LOADED with babies, and the one male is pushing 2"! I think I'll be upgrading to a 10-15gal this spring/summer. I also think the larger pipefish in the second picture might also be pregnant ...

Hello everyone! I've always lurked around on the boards here at saltwaterfish.com and finally decided to make an account. My current pride and joy are my dwarf seahorses, and figured I'd share them with you all. The tank is a 5gal housing 19 or 20 dwarf seahorses. I started with six 7-8 months ago.
