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 with 21 adults and the two pipefish.

Very cool, Their babies are so big compared to the daddy's. Poor thing must have been uncomfortable. you must hatch a lot of brine.lol I cant stand the brine with the shells, I love the decapped.

okay..... you got me hooked. I wanna se up my 29G for seahorses only. But I want real plants and seaweeds. does your ponies eat live food or frozen

 

[teresaq]

Not my dwarfs, but I will answer lol
Dwarfs only eat live bbs, newly hatched to a couple days old, and pods. - These are only one to one and a half inches long
Lrg breed horses like Erectus or Reidi eat frozen mysis - these are 6 to 8 inches long.

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.
