Pair of Dwarf Seahorses

Mated Pair of Dwarf Seahorses (Hippocampus Zosterae)

These are Saltwater Fish, you must have a saltwater aquarium to keep these fish.

2 Dwarf Seahorses. (1 Male and 1 Female) Our seahorses are all captive born and raised in our fish room. Multiple tanks are used for several thriving colonies. The young pair you are purchasing will be between 2-3 months old. The male will have given birth to 1 viable brood of baby seahorses before being shipped to ensure he is fertile. We ship them at this age as they only have a 2 year life span and this ensures he will breed and produce some young for you. The Female deposits 5 to 30 eggs in the males brood pouch. The male is the parent that carries the eggs in his brood pouch, much like a kangaroo. After approximately 10 days, he will deliver 5-30 young. These are saltwater fish and must be kept in a saltwater tank with appropriate tank mates. They are not good at competing for food so it is best to keep them in a dwarf seahorse only tank if you are uncertain of what to keep with them. They will do fine in a 2.5 to 10 gallon aquarium. We actually keep all of our colonies in 10 gallon tanks. They must be fed live baby brine shrimp. This can be as simple as adding a small amount of brine shrimp eggs to the top of the water and waiting for a day or so for them to hatch. You can also hatch the brine shrimp in a separate container and then transfer only the shrimp without egg shells. (preferred method) Specific gravity of your saltwater should be 1.022, temp at 75, and Ph right around 7. If these simple conditions are met, they will most certainly breed for you. I include a small amount of brine shrimp eggs with each order to get you started. The pictures below are one of our colonies and your seahorse will come from this colony.
