Grey tree squirrels.
No babies yet. He is still looking miserable. I may have some more coming this weekend. Someone has asked me if I want 10 more from a friend of theirs but I haven't heard back, we'll see, I'll keep you posted.
Not to hijack your thread but I am setting up a one gallon nursery with a bare bottom so that I can keep a better eye on the little ones, sometimes they are hard to track down. I am siliconing in a dead gorg for a hitching post, otherwise i am going to leave it bare.

Sounds wonderful!!! I really like the nursery set up idea. i fret alot about the fry, being so tiny. I'd also
be very grateful for any pony adoptions you could provide

Thanks.

I can ship you ponies and as many baby squirrels as you want. I have twelve foster babies and am running out of places to release them, lol. Beware of the boucing box!
What kind of care do the squirrels need?

I don't use feeding stations for the ponies, live baby brine shrimp don't stay put. The ponies need really low water flow, which also allows them to feed at their leisure.

you know...something i just thought of something you could use to make it look like you have liverock...or for your little pipe diagram....i personally never really cared for the fake look of tanks, but with dwarves its hard not to with all their preditors....and this is actually what i'll be using in my new tank when its ready for the back drop...you could get some pondscape foam stuff...cant remember the real name for it...but its a type of foam that you could create some pretty sweet, and SAFE designs with...and then down the road if you wanted you could add some coraline and make it look like rock without the dangers....then you could also make as many branches as you wanted etcetc...just thought id throw it out there, from what ive seen in other tanks it looks pretty sweet...cant wait to use it in my tank.

Getting a ride on Daddy. This little one thought it would be fun fishing for dinner, while hitching a ride on Dad!

Cute video! I am meeting with the seahorse dude tomorrow. I am hoping for some colors. Most of mine are white, I have two brown, pintoish looking little boys. I just love your yellows!
My guys were wild captured and when I got them had tons of tassles and danglies that are falling off. Apparently, that is normal but I am going to miss their fancy clothes, lol.
I have some really pregnant dads. I don't know how much longer they can hold those babies in, one of them looks so miserable, he can barely move. I will keep you posted on them as well.

I'd be happy to trade some of yellows if you'd like some. Kids grow up fast and they'll need new mates

It's to bad the tassels fall off. I wonder if it has to do with the change of environment. Seahorses are masters of camouflage
