New project: Seagrass/Seahorse tank

[msouth468]

you gonna try to breed them?

It will be nice if they breed. One reason I went with erectus is that they can be reared on newly hatched brine shrimp, so I won't have to culture rotifers. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I don't know how I missed seeing this before as I've gone over this thread many times before.
Two things; I've been looking for H. Barbouri for some time now and haven't had any luck so far. Does this Quebec breeder of Barbouris sell out of province? (I'm in London Ontario)
Also, does the reference to breeders located in Ontario, refer to the Australian banded pipefish or to the Barbouris?

Look up Seanic,
here it is: http://www.seanic.ca/seanic_care.html
They breed a few types.
Looks gr8, I definately want to do this next year. (still working on my reeftank!) but I'd like to breed them too eventually.
tres tres cool!!!!

Thanks, but Aaron at Seanic doesn't have Barbouris, but I did buy my H. Reidis from him Last October.
H. Barbouri is the main seahorse I want for my tank but I've only been able to find them in Austrailia so far.

oic Thre are a few people in Quebec with barbouri. Try the forums at reefsolution.com I know they are available.

Those erectus are very pretty though
