Lana Bollers Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great photos! My daughter wants a sea horse so bad... I told her we have enough horses...LOL... the one's outside are a lot easier to care for, although the vet bills can be costly... She saw one at Big Al's on Sunday she fell in love with... but I know nothing about salt water and was told these lil guys can be tough.

RTG_Gerry Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks! Technically, these animals should not be kept in captivity except by those who can give them the attention and feeding regime they require. They require live food and they need to be fed several times a day. They need pristine water and it's not unusual for an attentive keeper to do water changes every day. They are now captive bred, but very expensive and very fragile. A shame. Truly beautiful creatures. For your daughter's information, it's the males who carry the young in their pouch. I'll post a few more pics after work. Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykit Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Very beautiful. Never knew about the pouch thing either. Guess the saying "you learn new something everyday" really applys to this hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
