Nothing fancy..... same as I always use. I keep them in a 5 gal the first week to be sure they are eating, and to cull the weak ones or those that aren't going to make it long-term.
I'll add a 2nd Hydro sponge filter in about a week when I move them over to a 10 gal tank.
Reminder to those trying to raise fry.... CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!

Thanks :)
Started with 87, lost a few and culled a bunch more. Ended up with 60 that I moved to a 10 gal tank last weekend. Gave half of them to a friend of mine that is trying to breed clownfish (and had some empty fry tanks running) who wanted to give it a shot and see if they could raise them.
Of the 25-30 that I kept, they are doing fairly well. I should be feeding more than twice a day, but 10-12 hour work days prevent that.
I'll snap a pic and post tonight.

Looking forward to more pics!!

Does "culled" mean, you removed the ones you didn't think would survive??

Yes it means what you think it does

A few poor quality updated pics. They will be 3 weeks old this Sunday. Most are starting to turn golden yellow/orange already. This was taken an hour after feeding - so all have full orange bellys.

Just wondering, what do you do with the ones you cull? Do you just flush 'em while they're alive..? =( I know nothing about seahorses, but that just seems kinda cruel..
