    Tested the water last night, looked good, so we pulled a Hawk Eyed Damsel out of the main system and acclimated him to the tank. This will be his home for the next 4 to 6 months... Then comes the SHs..

    The horses arrived last night. Purchased from Liveaquaria, they are the small hippocampus, tank bred.... And so the story begins....

    Which tankbreds did you get? Erectus or Kuda? They are quite adorable! I remember when we got ours and they where tiny, They grew so fast to.

    These are the Kuda... I do hope they grow fast. It was very entertaining to sit and watch them explore the tank last night.

    Feeding Time

    The SHs seem to be eating well on freshly hatched brine shrimp. We will begin feeding frozen food tomorrow... here's hoping they take to it....
