Can you ship dwarf seahorses to Singapore?

If temp of tank is well below 25 Deg C, chances of turning asexual is lower. Constant water replacement.....

1. Best keep alone in group of 2 to 4. 2. Buy those already farm breeded and feeding on frozen Mysis. Confirm with dealer bebore buying else you are buying dead seahorses....as well from TCM.

Is a beautiful young male seahorse. Why so bother what species.

Hello all.. If all well after 3 months.....why not! Cheer! Chris

Wait for my Reidi baby horses grown up. Is only 2 weeks old now.

Over-stocking and spelling disaster.....Please restrain adding no more.

Wow! Everyone is so welcoming you and supportive. May all forces be with you and successful into the 2nd generation of Reidi..... Cheer and have fun! Chris

Hi Guys, long time no talk busy with work. Well, I have been in horse keeping for 3 years and still fasinated by them. Hope to see more enthusiastic hobbist to share.

Well not at all in this tone. But I do realise the horses look abit more orange in amber lighting when my dining hall lit up and tank light turn off. Lower temp would also bring out the colour. Haven't really tried out but would do so.....

Sea fans don't really mind the horses and kind of getting use to each other. Reason for sea fans is to help absorb mysis juice and tube worms to filter out the tiny mysis particles when the horses puff. However, this mere food is not sufficient, so DT come into play. 2 to 3 cubes of mysis daily put a great burden to the sewage plant. Rowa should be used and change 1/3 bottle monthly. Charcoal 1/3 bottle montly. Have fun and keeping a horses only tank may not really be a chore unless productive couple.....

.....continue. 1. Monthly utility bill $50. 2. Food for 7 horses: 2.5 cubes of Mysis Daily and enrich alternate day with Zoe and Zoecon. 3. Food for worms and Fans: 5cc of Conc DT from AquaTim. 4. Bare bottom tank allow weekly removal of detrius. 5. Top up weekly spoonful of Ca and Mg and trace minerals. 6. Fortnightly replace with DIY salt water 10% using Deionizer. 7. PH = 8.1 and NO3 = 1 PPM

Thank you for the welcoming message.... showing my entire setup. Keeping it neat, simple and easy maintenance is my theme. Consist of: a. 1/10 Hp chiller maintaining temp at 24 to 25 Deg C. b. Box filter (Big) with only bio-ring full. c. Box filter (Small) with chemical filtration such as Seachem Activated Charcoal and Phosphate absober. d. Sump loaded with bio-ring and mini refugium power by 13 Watt PL. Aglae : Chaetomorpha. e. Lighting by Aqua pro. 24 watt Actinic and 24 Watt PL. On only from noon to 8pm. f. Prizm hangon skimmer g. Tank size: 200 litre bare bottom.

closer look at some horses....

Another view from the side...

Took a year to save and create a little haven for our 1st most successful generation. Total 7 male horses after letting go all pairs.... Got to stop breeding for a long time because of work commitment. Hope you guys enjoy my little creation for them....

Hi CKS, Have not experience such social problem at this young stage. As they grow older about 2 to 3 months and older, separation would cause death or self induce starvation. Never buy one horse only, at least a pair, better with 4. I don't use any light at all. Just place your tank somewhere dim. Change 1/2 water weekend. More sponge filters better. Those sticking to the surface would be "Goner" soon. Generate small but sufficient current by air bubbling - don't use air stone, should keep them off the surface. Any survival so far? Cheer!

Hi CKS, There are no mating seasons and every day is mating seasons once the female is filled with eggs and the male is empty. Narrow down to the bigger size and just try raising from there, said about 10. Put them all in a matured 2 footer with 2 to 3 sponge filters operated by air. Build a small compartment about 6'' x 6'' to about the high of the tank to 1 side of the tank. Bottom should be through and seal off by a square sponge tigth fix. Air lift water into the square compartment to ensure good water exchange. Put the 10 good fries into the compartment and feed sparsly for 1st week with the smallest BBS you can get 3 times /day. Space restriction would ensure good BBS distribution and good hunting opportunity for the fries. Cover up all 3 sides except the side furthest to the compartment. Don't need any lighting on tank top, just dim ambience would be perfect. When the fries grow just a little, you got chance..... Lastly if you really grew tired if it. We can exchange with all males to you. Guess you already have some feeling for them ..... Cheer!

Sea grass grows best in soiled substrate. It actually a plant with roots and behave just like aquatic fresh water plant. You are so lucky it float all the way there from Labrador beach. There you find lots of them but "No Plucking". I be your 1st person on the waiting list. Is a banned item now.

Hi CKS, I love your sea grass....Hunting high and low but in vain. Mind to reveal their hideout or we trade in somehow... Look like one of your male pouch is carrying egg...... Good luck and have fun....

Hi Tevin, Your wedding present still in good hand and waiting for you..... Best regards Chris

Waited so long for your posting. Thank you and hope they cross and breed like never before.

Hello, Poor horse is very timid and lonely. You should atleast get 2. Horses don't like fast swimming tankmates. They would compete for food and horses are slow or reluctant in chasing food. Don't mix it with any fast moving fishes if you can. Is easier to train it in a horse tank alone. I would take it if you are loooooosing interest but must be atleast feeding for past few days. Cheer!

If your horses enthusiastic in feeding they should last long but most of the time succumbed to diseases, lost of spouses due to separation, congestion in tank, stress due to wrong tank mates, poor water quality and high temp >27 C, etc...

Guess you are ready this time.
