Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Hippocampus barbouri are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Hippocampus barbouri, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Hippocampus barbouri, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.

Very nice seahorse and tank raised are alot hardier then wild caught .

Males seem to be prone to getting air in pouch .

i have kept wc and tank raised

keeping wildcaught barbs is only for advanced aquarists and hard to keep over a longer period

Also ich kann nicht bestätigen das sie sehr schwierig sind auf Grund seiner Größe bei der Geburt kann mann gleich von Anfang an frisch geschlüpfte Artemia Nauplien füttern und das ist ein riesen Vorteil gegenüber Reidi und Co. Habe selber Jahre lang gezüchtet hat prima geklappt!
