Nannochloropsis. Live phytoplankton, the easiest one to culture. Uses light and ammonia to grow. I have also started up a new tank and put fish in...
With seahorse fry, I use containers with just some live nanno in there to help use up any ammonia produced, but I also add Cloram-X to bind up what...
After my house started "moulding" I finally gave up on dehumidifiers and fans and installed a large HRV which finally remedied things for me. In...
Well I've never considered trying to get a fry trap going. For me, it's seahorse fry and they are usually born just before lights come on so I just...
This is the nutrient profile for nanno: On average, the biomass contained 37.6% (w/w) available carbohydrates, 28.8% crude protein, and 18.4% total...
IMO, rotifers consume more nanno than my larger brine cultures. Now though it doesn't matter as I use powdered spirulina, blended in water for at...
Sorry, you can add enriched adult brine to the tank and they will be gone in VERY short order. In addition, any brine that happened to be there very...
Well, over the years, just about everything has been tried. However, different seahorses come from different parts of the ocean originally, so what...
Well, your next problem is going to be where to buy the H zosterae from. Being in Canada, it's very difficult to get them as there are no breeders...
Which question? The "why should the 5g be the max?" I think that has been answered fully. You can obviously go larger but you will have to put up...
Yeah, I know them well enough that after a few years I've stopped because it was more work than I wanted to keep doing, especially at my age.
Greg is right on with his information, and it's based on a lot of his personal experience. I wouldn't even use a 10g for 20 dwarfs as I started with...
Yeah, some you can even wear.
Just remember than some rotifer catchers only remove the largest of the rotifers, while many fry have need of the smaller sizes, so you want to be...
IME, tank bred seahorses are usually raised in large cement vats/tanks and ocean water that is not sufficiently treated or filtered gets used....
By the way, I don't know if pop bottles (soda) are the same there as here in Canada, but the mesh bags fit inside, with the top of the mesh bag...
Actually Greg, I don't recommend NOT using sand beds and macro, I just prefer not to use sand beds as I find it so much easier cleaning tanks without...
Better still, look in stores around you for stainless steel permanent coffee filters. Even though you would need to have shipped across, an...
Well, it would be very difficult to explain all you need to know in one thread on a forum. There are different ways to set up for a seahorse tank so...
I promote Dan and Abby's seahorsesource.com also. I can't even buy from him as he doesn't ship to Canada. He has helped me out personally countless...
