Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy some southern erectus, preferable cb, but I might consider wc ones since it is getting harder to find cb ones. I know DanU comes highly recommended, but I believe he is out of stock right now and Draco closed, so who is left?

Has any one ordered from the Northeast Brine Shrimp company? Livestock (http://mariculturetechnology.com/Livestock.htm) They claim to have tr small guys, but the rest may be wc.

I really want to mix up my genetic stock and my current broodstock haven't been breeding since I redesigned my tanks. I have several tanks and I had to move them briefly to smaller tanks while I got their new setups ready.

I'd appreciate any insight into this company if anyone has any!

seahorsefan,

http://www.theculturedreef.com/welcome.gifto Talking Reef Forum, and so much more.

I have visited Northeast Brine Shrimp company and talked with the owner Michael McMaster. While I can't say I know him, I would trust him based on my visit and tour of his facility. I know once my aquaculture facility is up and running I will be doing business with Mike.

Here is another source for horses I also trust, Seahorse Source, the ultimate place for captive bred seahorses. (http://www.seahorsesource.com/index.html) Have you looked into them?

Thanks! I will definitely consider buying from Mike then. Seahorsesource is out of stock currently I had heard.

I called Mike today and had a nice chat with him. He remembered my visit. Mike said he had some horses in stock. Give him a shout.

If you go to Seahorse.org there are always hobbyists that have some for sale and some are even shipping. There is a forum there for that. A lot of them are Dan's "relatives".

Sorry, I can't help you find a pony, I just wanted to express my amazement at the fact Veriann hasn't been in here posting solely based on the title :D

hey hey, Sir David is back, Im humbled in your shadow my friend.

Humbled LOL.. okay... I guess that's nice. Good to see you to M8.

I just wanted to post that I ordered 5 WC female erectus from Northeast Brine Shrimp a few weeks ago and they are doing well in quarantine. A couple were on the skinnier side, but all converted to frozen PE mysis within the first week, and are looking a little fatter. I would order from them again.

Good for you.. keep us posted. That's a real hearty species! Easier to care for the fry too!

Dave

Just to update...all 5 females are doing great, they took to frozen real quick and fattened right up. Added males to their tank a few weeks ago and 2 weeks later our first batch of fry from them.

This post needs :pic:!

It sounds like you'll have a nicely stocked tank. Just remember not to mix any other horses with WC erectus. They tend to be loaded with cooties.

Congrats...

dang it !! you guys are all making me want to try my hand at some ponies AGAIN !! i JUST got over the last time that they came up around here !!

don't do it dood... don't do it....

i have pretty much everything i would need to do it, just sitting around here anyway. i just dont know if i am ready to take on ANOTHER challenge.

don't do it dood... don't do it....

Oh wait...where'd I hear that before :D

I'm soooo glad I'm not married to the Hippocampus anymore. Believe me, I love them and if I were home every day, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The problem is, you can't even take a weekend away without having to find someone to care for them.
