You are always so sweet, David!.
I put that info up there because sometimes when I post their pics peeps ask for some of their fry to try and raise themselves. Under normal circumstances I would love to share the genes.
It's why you have to pick your breeders carefully. Understand what they have going on over there... look around for history of their horses. Check around in the emergency forum on different seahorse sites and see if they were ever in there, what is was for and what they did about it.
But even that can't protect you when buying from a home breeder. I got some fry from a very good friend that were shipped immediately upon birth from her CB horse. None of her horses were sick. The horse was from a reputable breeder but was in contact with other horses not from the same breeder. As it turned out me and another guy who got fry from this source ended up raising horses to adulthood to find out they had myco. We were suspecting the parents but neither of them have been sick. She has sinced stopped passing out her fry. We don't kinow for sure but we can't take the chance. With the boys in the pic we tested about 100 of their offspring and nothing was found. I send everything off that dies around here for a necropsy just to add to the data base of info.
..... where was I going with this?
LOL... just know who you are buying from. Buying from the
LFS opens up a whole different can of worms, but if you are buying from a home breeder, just get all the info you can on them.
