Let the feast begin...

Well...sort of...
The seahorses never quite mastered consuming the ghost shrimp!

Pictures are Worth THOUSANDS OF WORDS!

Hoover and Valentina finally understand the ghost shrimp are food!

Upon arriving home, Hoover had one of the shrimp lengthwise in his snout!
He frantically swam over to me, wishing his tail back and forth at a speed I've never witnessed before in all my years living with my seahorses!

Seeing is believing!
Get ready for some great laughs as the seahorses discover ghost shrimp, if they can catch them, are eventually edible!

Ummm...yes...that "transparent tubular" shrimp is extending out of Hoover's snout!
He was so very, very panicked about it having no idea what to do about it!

Friend or Foe?

Early November 2012, I was sent some live "ghost shrimp" through the mail for my seahorses to try.

My Floridian friend, Phyllis, was sure they'd gobble them up. They are considered a yummy delicacy to seahorses.

Into the tank they went.

My seahorses Valentina and Hoover did not know what to make of them.
They sniffed at them.
They inspected them.
But they did not eat them.

The shrimp had no fear.
They took leisurely strolls past the seahorses.
The seahorses heads followed the shrimp as they walked by.
There was no aggression....initially...
Why, they even slept together.

In the first 2 photos, you can make out the ghost shrimp on the right and the seahorse on the left.

Ummmmm......
Yeah!
Tune in!!!!!!

Sandy by Any Other Name....

Would still not be a seahorse!

Hoping Hurricane Sandy put you down as gentle as she picked you up!

If not, please share your story...

Seahorses are very, very affectionate creatures not only to each other, but to the humans that love them also!
