Morning all!!!!

I have a quick ? and was wondering if u could shed some light on this......I was going to place an order that included the redi sh (1 on sale for 19.99) but now only see them priced at 49.99 & 59.99

Were the 19.99 ones a "special" batch or something???
I finally got up enuf courage to order again (lost almost my entire order) and find this

maybe I will get lucky enuf to catch the sale next time
TIA

The $19.99 Reidi are from the same group as the $49.99 versions. We put them both up because many people like to order a pair and it is a limit of 1 at the $19.99 price. I readjusted the ratio so there are 5 more up at $19.99 and then they will be gone for good. These are a little younger and smaller than the $59.99 Reidi at 3-4 inches, but very nice coloring and they are starting to show their pouches.
Hope that helps. They will be gone quickly.

I was wondering if you would release the origin of these seahorses. Whether they are captive bred at an aquaculture facility, wild caught, or imported from asia after being raised in net pens in the ocean.
IMHO it is important knowledge to the succsess of the future keepers to know how to best acclimate them, treat for possible parasites, and know what meds to have on hand.
I'm not saying one is better then another, O.K. aquacultured is best, but if you are selling something different giving customers the info they need to be succsessful seems like good customer service.
If you need help with finding what those precautionary steps are, I would be glad to help.
I'm kinda hoping these are bred at an aquaculture facility as pricing wise, for the same size seahorse of the same species, there are CB speciments available from other sites.

Thank you kevin....I've been wanting to say something for the longest time ...maybe give a list of some meds to have on hand ? Like prazi pro , meth blue , formalin etc? And of course the good ol' fresh water dips

A list of standard SH meds to have on hand as well as how/what to use each one for would be helpful to those of us w zero experience.
Perhaps something in the nature of a flowchart style? Like, for this symptom, first try.... next try..... etc?? Don't know how possible that is.
Thanks for any info.

We generally buy our Reidi from ORA and that is where the 3-4 inch yellows were from. ORA is an aquaculture specialist with facilities in FL. They are captive bred and held until they are eating frozen mysis.

It was my understanding that ORA was only breeding fuscus and barbouri at there facility and importing the kelloggi and reidi from Asia.
If this has changed that would be great for the hobby, but at the price ORA is wholesaling them for I would be surprised, given the cost of the other species they are breeding.
I really appreciate the effort to answer the question. That shows how much this place is changing IMHO.
Props!
