| Other Information: |
These guys were meant for display fish, I wasn't really intending to breed them. It seems like seahorses give you less "bang for your buck" so I've been focusing on the regular "fishy" variety. I had a batch released from dad earlier today so I decided to finally put more effort into it and document.
Note that the hatch being documented is the current one, which just hatched this morning (1/1/11). |
