Seahorse fry to a good home

Hey all, we are looking for a home for our seahorse babies that were born tonite. We didnt know the dad was even pregnant so we dont have food ready or a nursery. The babies look big and are hitching already. If you have live food (prob bbs) and a nursery for these guys and want them, send me an email. We are located in Knoxville, TN. I prefer not to ship since they were born today and prob wouldnt make it if i shipped out tomorrow.
Thanks,
Nikki

Seahorse fry have a yoke sack that lasts about 24 hours. If did want to try to raise them and have brine shrimp eggs, you could start them now and have food for them tomorrow.

Around 40 were born. I have no interest in raising them. I normally ship them out to a friend in IL but since I wasnt aware he was pregnant I wasnt prepared. Plus they were born on a sunday. If any1 is interested let me know! thanks
