What do you need to breed your seahorses to enable them to be very productive in reproduction?

For breeding, seahorses do require some special treatment, should you want to have loads of cute little baby seahorses!

1. Nutrition is extremely important! Ensure your females are producing good-quality eggs by feeding her high-energy food, such as frozen (or live) Mysid shrimp.

2. Tank depth! At least 50 cm is recommended for sub-adult seahorses to breed, and 1-m for full-grown adults.

3. Very good water quality! Ensure the ammonia and nitrite are low, your temperature is stable around 18-20 oC, and salinity is between 20-35 ppt.

4. A small tank for your babies, as well as live baby brine shrimp.

5. It is always good to keep seahorses in their own aquarium. Never put seahorses in an aquarium with aggressive and fast feeders as seahorses are gentle feeders, which will be edged out in food rivalry.
