This morning Secret gave birth. The afternoon was a flirting day in the tank!
As always, Jetlag try do seduce both females but never win any eggs. I don t think an egg transfer happened today, but it will probably tomorrow.
I also got a new addition also, a piebald male from Seahorse source. I hope he will show interest in my piebald female (also from the same breeder), she try so hard to flirt with my 2 big guys but they don t show any interest for her, as she is very small compared to my other 2 females.

Description

You can hear the noise these juveniles do while swallowing mysis.

"Seahorses, unlike most fish, have a fixed jaw. Instead of opening their mouth using a hinged jaw motion to take in food, they have a tubular snout that relies on suction to draw food in. There has been a lot of study into exactly what takes place during this highly coordinated activity. In short, the seahorse tilts its head and a number of muscles go into action, expanding the oral (buccal) cavity and creating negative pressure; this, in turn, draws water in, all within a fraction of a second. The suction effect, much like a slurp gun, is very powerful. Prey (food) is drawn in during this process—sometimes even larger than the diameter of the snout! As the prey is drawn in, it is macerated, as evidenced by what appears to be smoke coming out the back of the seahorse’s head. This “smoke” is actually food particles that are ejected with water during the ingestion process (one of the reasons why seahorses put such a large organic load on a tank)."
