Is my seahorse pregnant?
He's only a few mobths old.

Yup
|
yea
|
surely, you mean you've only had him a few months? that doesn't look like a juvenile seahorse to me. :)
|
I only got them during the first week of November and they were barely sexable at that point.
|
He looks sexually mature ... he's likely about 6 months old or so.
6 months is when they start becoming sexually mature ... but he certainly didn't waste any time. Handsome reidi by the way. |
Very prego - bueatiful horse!
|
Very prego - beautiful horse

my brother currently has 5 seahorses and 1 of them looked just like yours. and yup, he's pregnant! he delivered this AM :D
see pics here: [url]http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1279950[/url] when my bro find out he was pregnant we were told that his seahorse wasn't gonna deliver for at least one more month - what a lie! :D my advice - be prepared! |
while gestation varies a bit, it usually takes just two weeks for a pregnant male to have babies.
|
Nothing yet, but he's still big.
|
Are you going to try and save the fry, if so what steps are you taking?
|
I think he's giving birth right now. I see no fry yet, but he's jerking around.
|
Did he have them? You're on day 15. My reidi give birth on day 15 almost every time.
|
Yep. It was wild to watch. I think I got a bit of video. I'll try to post it later today.
|
reidi can be tough to raise. some hobbyists have had success with kreisel systems and feeding marine rotifers and/or newly hatched BBS of the smallest type (SF, I think?) regular BBS is too large for reidi fry. if you aren't ready with nursery tanks and live food, they usually don't make it.
|
As of this morning I couldn't see any. In retrospect, I wish I would have at least moved them to my fuge to give them a fighting chance. I did feed baby brine shrimp (I think Instant Ocean makes it. It comes in a small jar.) Now that I've been through it once, I'll be better prepared next time.
