Thanks! These guys actually hitch just like normal horses. The thought is that these guys live at the bottom of the ocean (like normal horses), but at around 500ft deep. Then they swim to surface at night, thus giving the impression that they are actually pelagic. I have 6 comfortably living in a 10 gal and 4 in another 10 gal tall. Those are my breeders. Ill be looking for pics of your guys when they breed. Since yours are a larger variety, you should be able to raise the young with newly hatched brine shrimp. The colors on yours are really nice! Congrats!
