Can I pick up tomorrow in the afternoon about 12 or 1...
thanks for the little guys but I didn't have my food ready and even though I saw them pecking at the copepods they probably didn't eat any. All five of them died over night. They seemed to be doing well. maybe I should have left the light on overnight. I have my BBS going now so maybe I can get another shot at it in the future. Thanks again Asianer.

Point of info. Reidis need to be kept under the water or in a kreisal type container. The problem is if they snick air they have no way to expel it and die because they get stuck on the surface of the water. www.seahorse.org has a wealth of information on raising ponies Also if memory serves me they need Rots as a first food as copepods and BBS are to big for them to eat. Everyone can prepare for the next batch and get there rot cultures cranking

Yes they were all dead in an airbubble at the surface. Maybe I could put some plastic screen near the surface to keep them under.

I used to use a plastic fish bowl as a Kreisal container. Poke a hole in the side of it and insert an airline gently bubbling. I also cut a hole in the side of the bowl to allow for water exchange. I covered the whole top of the fish bowl and submerged it into a 5 gallon tank. That solved the snicking of air problem.

If you thumb thru my gallery on RC (cb747) youll see some not so good pics of the fishbowl setup. Itll give you a general idea of what i had.
