My male kuda seahorse is pregnant, I think he has about a week to go and I really want to give the little guys a chance of survival, I don't have a huge budget or much time or space, but if I could give one or two a chance it would be worth the effort. I have been searching google day and night to find out as much as I can about culturing food, trouble is there is so much conflicting advice, ranging from feeding baby brine shrimp, rotifers and copepods, or a mixture and advice on feeding the food! . Yet some sites say you can get a 20% success rate simply by putting zooplankton in a tank in the windowsill and put the fry straight in, if that's the case, what sort of zooplankton and where can I get it? or do I need a nursery and if so is there a simple way to set it up?HELP!!!!

I suggest that you find a fish store, not some hokey one like PetSmart, but one that sells saltwater fish and tanks and specializes in the care of them. Speak to someone there and explain everything as you have here. They will give you the best advice. Remember, though, that in nature, they have their babies and are not kept in captivity, and they survive.
