The pictures not great as the babies are tiny, but you can probably see from these pics that they much more resemble an adult seahorse than the erectus babies which are quite translucent at birth We also have some 2.5 week olds in the same tank and they are at least double in size than their younger siblings.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww any names yet

Re: Seahorse Babies
Here are a couple more pictures, now that these guys are 1.5 weeks. I've lost quite a few of them sadly. I think it was a combination of a few things; I had been trying out a couple of new tanks but I think the density of numbers plus the smaller water volume wasn't a good thing and the other issue was the heat. The tanks crept up to 80 degree's on Sunday before I had a chance to do anything about it. I like to keep my fry tanks around 68 - 72, to slow down bacteria growth.

I have around 200 left.
