    seahorse conservancy farm

    in Propagation and Breeding

    and even more amphipods but how to collect them? I can stir up the sand and net them with a small net takes a bit of time to get a cup. so there must be a better way, the girl is my  niece and dive partner she will be a marine biologist next year, she counts the pods part time , $ 10 dollars per hour for a P.H.D. well it would not look  good for a nonprofit to run an outboard in the muck then into a net but?  the little brown crabs are so cute they never get bigger then 3/4" try to get them next weekend but doing something for chesapeake bay foundation going to ruin the weekend, did all the spring clean up for my 2 landscaping clients feel great but some how hurt my left knee so staying home a few days , ugh being old is like keeping an old car running oh yea the frozen shrimp look just like what we buy but free!!!  

    seahorses for sale

    in Vendor News

    if anyone is interested please let me know, I will go to Bethesda meeting and can bring a few with me but not to show just to deliver. If we do this please do not bring cash or a check but when you get home make a donation to our nonprofit that hopefully reflects the value of the horses, $65 each. We have two great restoration projects started but waiting government approval so for now we just breed fish. it's fun.

    by working i mean getting them used to the water low salinity and spring temp, so far I allway's bring them back home but they are ready, in bay they eat amphipods i colect them and put them in the tank at night so they live in the sand and grass, in florida and mississippi they have released way more the 10 million fish, strippers, red snapper, spotted trout, snook, red drum, cobia, the breed them all for sports fishing , some  are against it but kits the trend, in the bay we put in geneticly enginered oyster spat anyway look at this video, im waiting on lots of shelfish and seahorse permits it takes time,

    building 380 gallon tank

    in Do It Yourself

    This is a K-1 filter im building in a 60 gallon cube tank, the holes in the P.V.C.make the bubbles that keep the K-1 moving. and foam insulation covered with silver tape. the best saltwater fish breeder in the country says this is the best filter there is! he should know he is a P.H.D. and 20 years ahead of us at least, this and my 60 gallon wet dry do all the work not much for the skimmers to do anymore
