Ocean Rider is the pioneer of the captive bred seahorse world. However, they are known to NOT impart information unless one buys from them. They also charge some 5-10 times the amount per seahorse(which is their right of course) and naysay the other captive breeders in the hobby. There are several other breeders in the U.S., just none that term themselves a "farm". There is also about 4 other "farms" that raise and sell captive bred species. One thing NO ONE can dispute is the QUALITY of their seahorses, although they tend to sell and ship very very young ones.
I've dealt directly with them, and others, when I was raising seahorses myself. The advice they gave me on how to raise seahorse fry?
"Don't bother, just feed them to your tankfish or flush them."
That really didn't set well with me, any better than someone telling a boa owner to freeze any babies that his boa had.
