Good luck with these! If you have enough Parvocalanus and Apocyclops, I'd suggest refraining from using NHBBS. In my experience with H. reidi, the NHBBS bring nothing but heartache. If you have enough copepods, they should do just fine with copepods only. Have any Tigriopus to add to the mix this time of year?

I have some Tiggers, but not a lot. Since I wasn't prepared for these (got a call out of the blue) I'm using the copepods and hatching some brine for tomorrow. I'm planning on giving them a nice variety. I've gotten other seahorse fry in the past but they were usually a few days old and hadn't been fed when I got them so I'm hoping for better results with these.
