CF brings in Hippocampus zebra occasionally and sells at $500/pair or $150-$200 each depending on the stock

The baby seahorse looks cute. Congratulation!

Congratulation.. By the way do you use chiller for your seahorse tank?

thanks ! i did not use any chiller , my tank temperature was around 28-29 degree .

Hi! Thanks for sharing those pics. What do you feed seahorses with? I placed some cyclop-eze in, but am never sure if the seahorses eat them.

i feed them with frozen ghost shrimps but once a week i will feed them with small live marine shrimps that i brought from the malay people who always catches them because the main food of most species appears to be small shrimps and other crustaceans, but they will accept other foods in captivity. you can feed the cyclop-eze to the ghost shrimps and than awhile later you can start freezing the ghost shrimps for feeding .

u got from the malay people? u mean ur neighbors?

Anyway they may eat cyclopeeze, may only coz I've seen mine eat cyclopeeze occasionally but its definitely no their staple diet.

What bro best88 suggested is good, gutload the ghost shrimp with cyclopeeze then feed them to the seahorse. Alternatively you can try live brine shrimp

I met them at Changi fishing point. We had a chat and they said that they have a lobang to catch the small shrimps and if they caught some, they would sell them to me. I will attach a photo on how the small shrimps look like. By the way, I also bought a wild seahorse from them.
