HELP! - I'm A DAD

Hi.

Found one dead baby this morning, some are still floating on the surface, which I've read in normal, and the some are swimming around happier than ever.

They could float for up to about twenty days, did you get your e-mails? Are they kuda or comes?
 
Andreas- no it is the same, fresh fish will eat them to.Brine shrimp will only survive for a few minutes in fresh water

lIghty- this is blady awsome man, tanks for shearing it with us:thumbup:

Thanks Lanzo and Andreas,

Its very exciting but not fun...... lets just say I've learnt more about seahorse fry this weekend that I could ever imagine.;)




Does anyone know where I can buy Super Selco.
 
"Sterkte tjom"

you will need it

i don't think it is very easy to keep baby horses

Not available in this country as far as I know, could you not use the vitamin supplement made by Waterlife? Vitazin
 
not sure Viper, Vitazin seems more specific to fish, I'm wanting the selco to enrich the BBS, have got some spiralina tabs that will help though, along with egg yolk I believe?

any other products on the market for enriching BBS or Rotifiers?

makes sense!the instructions said that you have to add to tablespoons of salt and not add the same water into the tank water where your fry live.apparently the fry can live for 3 hours in fresh water
 
There are some yeast products that used to be used that were available from health shops. Spirulina should be useful, Beta Glucen may also be useful. There are some products used for feeding artemia and possibly rotifers that are available in LFSs, they are sometimes also used to feed fish fry and inverts. If necessary it may be wise to separate 10 or so babies for extra special treatment if you think you will struggle to provide enough nutrition for all the babies.
If you are not struggling to get brine shrimp eggs then rather hatch out more newly hatched brine shrimp and feed them more often, this will give you more time to source a supplement for the older brine shrimp which can be kept separately in a warm saltwater basin in the sun. If you are lucky the water may even go green on its own.
 
Well done and congrats on the fry, I hope you have success with these babies :thumbup:
 
thanks guy, but time to give you the news............... woke up this morning and to my horor...... I found another 50-80 fry in my DT, he or one of the other must have given birth again this morning..... yay ... more work... but its all worth it. they are sooooo cute! so got enough to keep my hands full, and to top it off, we are having a power cut for 8 hours tomorrow, likely i've mannaged to hook my air pumps up to my UPS.

Wish me luck!
